This is obviously the mountain but I did not see this icon before. Does anybody know more?

Mountain? But I think it is a head with black hair.
… of someone who should be using Head & Shoulders? 😉
I am 90% certain that this is a depiction of Mount Athos.
21 churches are pictured, 20 Monasteries and Karies. On the left The Holy Virgin and Christ are depicted as protectors and on the right, from what I can tell it looks like Saint Nicholas. Herman, where did you find this image?
correction (21 churches which represent the 20 monasteries and Karies)
George, I found the image on a Russian site but could not read it. It is a rare and intriging image
Thanks Herman,
I collect Russian Icons and Orthodox religious items. It is the first Russian depiction of Mount Athos in the style of an Icon I have ever seen, even after 4 years on Athos.
Mounth Athos, 17th century. Author unknown, 31,3 Ñ… 26,3 cm. Today, icon is in Russian State Museum.
Thanks Mirko!
You’re welcome!
