Antique Russian Silver Travel Icon Pendant of Our Lady of the Sign, Panagia
Located in New York, NY
One of the most sacred and revered images of the Virgin, the iconography refers to an event which took place on November 27th, 1165 during the assault on the city of Novgorod. In an effort to save the city, the citizens of Novgorod brought the icon of Our Lady of the Sign to the city wall and when one of the arrows struck the icon, tears formed on the image. The Bishop of Novgorod proclaimed that this was a sign that the Virgin was entreating her Son to spare the city. Novgorod was spared and the image, known as Znamenie, became highly venerated in Russia as a powerful protection symbol.

Located in Idar-Oberstein, DE
Russian Demantoid and Diamond Double Headed Eagle Pin, ca. 1890s
A very striking Russian tie-pin symbolising the Russian symbol of the double headed eagle (symbol of Tsar Nikolas), centring an old-cut diamond. The eagle itself is made in gold with black and blue enamel. Further suspending a bright Russian demantoid garnet with horsetail features.
Indistinct maker's mark for probably Faberge workmaster August Holming
Scratched inventory number.
About the double-headed eagle symbol:
The double-headed eagle is the symbol most strongly associated with Russia. However, throughout history it has featured in many cultures around the world, including Ancient Persia, the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Venetian Republic, and Scandinavia. The first known appearance of the double-headed eagle in Russia dates to the late 15th century. Ivan III (ruled 1462-1505) made the black double-headed eagle an official emblem of the Russian state and it featured as a design motif in the regalia of the Russian Imperial Court, until the fall of monarchy in 1917. In 1992 the Russian Federation restored it to the state coat of arms. Official and personal coats of arms, stamps, coins, military flags...
