The iconography of Deisis emerged in the Middle Byzantine period (843–1204) as a pictorialisation of the Intercession Prayer, commemorating Christ, the Mother of God and John the Baptist. The Virgin and John the Forerunner appear as intercessors for humanity, representing the New and the Old Testament respectively. During the 1700s the depicting of guardian angels came to popularity, later matching these two depictions together were a loved combination in Eastern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Eastern Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Great antique condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1700-1800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements: 10 x 6cm \/ 3,95\" x 2,35\" (measured open)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEverything is shipped with insurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLittle Note About Vintage \u0026amp; Antiques:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease keep bearing in mind that, unless otherwise stated, this item is pre-loved, and has had a previous lifetime, or even several.
