Ship icon on metal of the late 19th century Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Great Prince Vladimir. It is a centerpiece of a three-leaf folding on metal with the image of Prince Vladimir, who is on the right hand. Delicate oil painting with archaeological attention betrays the clothes and color of historical costumes in the half-figure of a saint. A soft picturesque glow above the prince`s head spreads a kind light over the icon. Revealing the figure and dispelling the darkness of times. Professional historical painting assumes a serious state customer, a military or rather a naval ministry, where, as a rule, icons on metal were used on ships. The leaves are fastened with a cross and have additional locks to prevent opening when rolling. An excellent historical and artistic document of the pre-revolutionary glory of Russia.
