Hallo, ich bin Kanadier und habe Georgia vor ein paar Jahren besucht. Ich habe in einer Kirche ein Porträt von Johannes dem Täufer gekauft und mir ist aufgefallen, dass darauf eine Art Ganzes zu sehen ist, das beabsichtigt zu sein scheint. Irgendeine Idee, was es ist oder was es bedeutet? Jede Info ist willkommen 😊

access hole for a screw thats holding the glass maybe?
Is the hole in the wood? Or is it in the crystal?
Looks like wood was cracked so they fixed it with this „beautiful thing“.
Typically in important icons insertions in frame like this house an artefact, a piece of flesh of a saint, a piece of some kind of important scripture etc. That way the icon also acts as reliquary.
But I doubt your icon would have that, so maybe it is a vacant hole like that? Or maybe it has something more accessable like sand from Jerusalem or something with symbolic value like that.
I feel like you have a piece of a true cross or a dust from the spear of destiny(holy lance). You’re only limited by your imagination.
