Iconostasis door depicting the Annunciation, Balkans? 19th century

About the Item

Carved and gilt wood door from an iconostasis representing the Annunciation to Mary by the archangel Gabriel.

Gabriel announces her new status as mother of the Son of God, and explains that she will bear a child in her womb while remaining a virgin (Luke, 1, 26-32). Right door warped, hinges missing, but overall good condition. Rare. 145x48 cm each door
