He has a short beard and long hair, which, gathered below into a thick ponytail falls on to His left shoulder. His head is surrounded by a halo containing a cross which bears the letters O QN on its arms. The background to the icon is of two colours: green up to the shoulders of Christ and orange above. In the corners above the arc which is formed in this top half there is plant decoration in black. The icon is framed by an outer band of orange and an inner, thicker, one, with green, blue and light brown alternations of colour, decorated at the corners with plant motifs.
