The relief modeling of the figures on the product is extremely delicate.

" Thus, the King of Glory is a Christ-triumphant, "Dorenosimy" as the commander-victor with his warriors ("to finish" means in translation from the ancient language "to carry on spears").


The King of Glory is also a Sacrifice, because Divine Majesty did not prevent the Savior's Cross feat, because there is nothing superior to Divine Love. On the reverse side of the cross - Archangel Michael in military armor with a sword, standing in a golden arch, on the sides - the faces of the Seraphim. Above the arch is the Holy Face of the Savior. The combination of these icons has the value of patronage to monks and warriors, as it could be present on combat armor and banners.
