Description
The left panel showing the following church feasts:
Annunciation, Presentation of Christ in the Temple, Baptism of Christ, Washing of the Feet, Transfiguration on Mount Thabor, Ascension of Christ, Dormition of the Virgin, Elevation of the True Cross, eight selected saints.

The right panel showing the following church feasts:
Birth of the Virgin, Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple, Nativity of Christ, Resurrection of Lazarus, Entry into Jerusalem, Crucifixion, Anastasis, Pokrov of the Mother of God, Mother of God of the Burning Bush.

The two wings originally were part of a triptych. The style of the painting, with the miniature execution of the scenes, the olive green background and the bright colours, point towards a provenance from a Moscow workshop and a dating in the late 16th or early 17th century. The gilded silver basma covering the borders between the scenes are original. The back of the two panels is covered with thick blackened leather.
