Five scenes cross.

Size: 2.36x4.05 inches (60x103 millimeters), including the hanger.

Time spent: something around 95 hours of work (18 working days).

It shows the Crucifixion in the middle, the Evangelists to the sides (St. Matthew to your left and St. John to your right), the Annunciation at the top, and, at the bottom, the scene from Mark 16:5-an angel on the Christ's grave, showing the robe that He's been covered with (famous Serbian fresco ''The White Angel'' from Mileseva monastery). It's got something that I don't know the name for in English all around it's sides (see larger image) and The Lord's Prayer carved on the back (in Serbian).

 

Interesting: This is my first miniature. I saw something like it and, sometimes in April or May of 2002 (not sure), I decided to try if I could do it, and I could.
