the icon very large and in overall very good condition; good detail, particularly on faces (see the Feast of the Nativity of St. John, the Hieromartyr Dorotheus, and the ascetic saints), most of the descriptive inscriptions rubbed, with some areas of loss and repair consistent with age and use (visible in photos), the back painted with sky blue paint, possibly to stabilize the wood and create a barrier against potential insect damage
