Five saints with half-figure of a blessing Christ. Hand painted on wood. Purchased by one of my family members during a business trip in Russia in 1960.
Saints’ names are in Old Slavic. The church was ‘underground’ in 1930s-80s (Communism, WWII, post-war poverty). (Thank you to the pro who reached out!).
Per text on back:
Expected from “1885”. Noted as “Conserved and restored in 1960” which is roughly when approximately when my grandfather would have purchased it on business in Russia
Dimensions are 14" x 11.5" x 1"
Pictured with a smaller sister painting for comparison (listed separately).
