Icon Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Long, narrow, rectangular piece of wood with a painted surface. The wood is light brown with a rough texture and a jagged edge on the right side. The painted surface is mostly gold with some black, orange, and red areas. The gold paint is chipped and flaking off in many places. Two small copper-colored cylindrical objects protrude from the left edge. The background is solid gray. Icon Fragment by artist unknown.
