Copper Icons with Image of St. Nicolas Mozhaisky from Novo-Ierusalimsky Monastery

Abstract

The article is devoted to the attribution of two copper icons with image of St. Nicolas Mozhajsky, which were found during the archeological researches in Novo-Ierusalimsky monastery in 2011 and 2014. The first of them is a small copper three-part fold “Nicholas Mozhajsky. Selected saints”, which was found during the excavation of monastery's cellar in 2011. This fold dates back the second half of the 18th century and produced in central region of Russia, perhaps in Guslitsy. It consists of one central part with image of Nicholas Mozhajsky and two lateral shutters, with images of saints. By analyzing the features of these images it could be possible to conclude that the fold was produced by the combination of diff erent fi nished details. The second is a pocket icon with single image of St. Nicholas Mozhajsky which was found during the excavation near the Gefsiman tour in 2014. This icon also dates back to the second half of the 18th century and perhaps was produced in the central region of Russia. The icon diff ers from the fold in image and technical details. In general, these finds supplement the area of distribution of copper icons with image of St. Nicholas Mozhajsky and marks cultural ties of Novo-Ierusalimsky monastery with central regions of Russian Empire.
