Pre-revolutionary antiques. Two-sided wine banner of the late XIX - early XX century. The size of the canvas: 51x44 cm. Canonical combination of stories: on one side "Transfiguration of the Lord", on the other "Resurrection of Christ". The work of one master: the palette of colors and the nature of oil paint strokes are the same on each side of the canvas. The overall tone of the icon is darker than in the photos. The colors are deeper and richer, gold has a noble muted shade. The camera of the phone automatically highlighted the details. The canvas is dry, strong, without signs of mold or fungus, will not splash. Restoration work is not planned, because each collector has its restorers. In general, such wine (process) icons occupy a special place in the liturgical and folk culture. Usually, such icons were inserted into a special wooden frame with a long handle (drevko). In the period between the divine services and the processions, the icons stood in the altar (behind the throne, on the left or right side) or near the iconostasis in the temple. During the processions, such icons were created so that the image could be seen by all believers: both those who go ahead of the procession and those who move behind it. Such icons were carried out during Easter holidays, temple (celebrity) holidays and other important events. Such canvases were often removed from wooden poles in Soviet times to save from destruction during the closure of churches.
