Talisman Bead Embroidery Kit on Art Canvas "The Lord's Prayer. (Russian text)"

“The Lord’s Prayer.” is a banner with the image of Christ Pantocrator.

What the picture shows

Christ is shown half-length: a blue himation over a crimson tunic, the right hand raised in blessing and a closed Gospel with a stone-set cover in the left. The halo is cruciform, the ground plain gold, with Greek abbreviations beside his head and an inscription below them. The icon stays printed and unbeaded. The border is stitched: a red field with diamonds of white and yellow beads at the top and bottom and a gold line of bugle beads along every edge. The red and gold echo the tunic and the ground of the icon. The prayer on the back of the banner is printed in Russian. The diamonds in the top and bottom bands match, so the border stays balanced around the image.
