Detailed Description
A black and white image shows three full-length figures standing frontally or slightly angled. The central figure, positioned prominently, wears a tall, ornate crown adorned with visible jewels. Dark-toned hair falls over her shoulders. She is dressed in a long, dark-toned robe with a lighter-toned, intricately patterned overlay, possibly a dalmatic, featuring rows of small dots and larger circular motifs. Her right hand is raised to her chest, while her left hand holds a vertical scroll with text that reads: "БІССЪ СВЕРБІ УЛІШІН МЕНЕГА БУ СВОИ". A light-toned halo encircles her head. To her left, a female figure stands slightly angled towards the center, her head tilted. She wears a light-toned head covering that drapes over her shoulders and a long, flowing robe. Her hands are clasped at her waist, covered by her sleeves. A light-toned halo is behind her head. The figure to the right mirrors the left, also a female figure standing slightly angled towards the center with a tilted head. She wears a light-toned head covering and a long, flowing robe, with her hands clasped at her waist, covered by her sleeves. A light-toned halo is behind her head. The background behind the figures features a light-toned, repeating geometric pattern on a darker ground. The top and side edges of the image are framed by decorative borders with scrollwork and floral motifs. The entire image is rendered in varying shades of black, white, and grey.
