At the centre of the composition, against a golden background, is Jesus Christ, depicted in bust, flanked by miniature images, also in bust, of His Mother and the forerunner John, as well as the bust figures of the 12 Apostles painted on the wide frame, grouped in groups of six on the sides of the icon, thus resulting in what is known in the composition of the iconostasis as the "Deisis the Great". The Savior wears a dark-red chiton and a black cloak with green reflections, bearing the Gospel in his left hand and blessing with the right hand. Around the head he wears a halo with a cross.
