Shown in the center is an embossed image of the Calvary Cross. The cross is framed with an image of Jerusalem’s walls with pinnacles and shot holes. Calvary is carved in the trihedral incised carving technique as a half-round hill faced with stones; Adam’s head is shown in it. Canonic inscriptions are shown in small square icon cases in the clear area around the cross. Flower-buds are carved in the corners in the icon’s top part. Abstract by O.G. Baranova
