Icoană pe lemn ”Răstignirea” is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting cult object, held at National Museum of Romanian History.
This wooden panel is split into six small scenes. The top row shows three figures: a woman holding a small child, a bearded man in robes, and another man in golden clothes. The bottom row has two knights on red horses and a lone figure hanging on a cross. Bright red, gold, and green colors stand out against a dark background. The panel looks old and worn, with some paint flaking off. The scenes are arranged in a grid, like a puzzle. The cross at the center connects all the images, suggesting they’re part of a bigger story. Next, look up cult object to see how art like this was used in daily life.
