Egg tempera paint on slightly curved wood panel. The wood is painted deep red and is followed by brown, yellow, and finally a thin bright red border of the focal image. There is a Cyrillic inscription on top in yellow on an olive green background. The image shows Saint John with his feet on a purple pedestal telling the scribe Prokhorus scripture, who writes it in a book with a quill pen and who's feet are on a teal pedestal. Both men have gold leaf halos. The landscape features pink and grey mountains on an olive green background with the arm of Jesus in the upper left corner.Type of Painting
