An icon of Saints Peter and Paul, probably 15th century but restored and transferred to a new panel in the late-19th or early-20th century

This icon depicts Saints Peter and Paul in the style of Andrei Rubliev, originally from the 15th century but later restored and transferred to a new panel in the late-19th or early-20th century. The standing figures hold their traditional attributes and show traces of silver basma mounting holes.

Medium: Painted in the style of Andrei Rubliev and his circle, the Sainted Apostles shown standing full length on a green ground and holding their attributes, St Peter the keys of heaven and St Paul his gospel, the panel showing traces of nail holes that would have served at some point to hold silver basma
