A small vintage wall-mounted devotional plaque depicting the Crucifixion in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, inspired by medieval Bulgarian iconography. The composition is calm, frontal, and contemplative, reflecting the visual language of Orthodox icon painting.
This piece is a later reproduction after a 14th-century Bulgarian icon, cast in resin/plaster and finished with a metallic patina to echo aged bronze. It was designed for wall display in a devotional corner or as a decorative object inspired by historic religious art.
