In the center of the icon is depicted the All-Seeing Eye of God, inscribed in a triangle, a symbol of the Holy Trinity and God's omniscience.

In the upper register of the icon are depicted heavenly angels holding a cross and a spear - symbols of Christ's suffering and the victory over the death. Their faces radiate peace and humility, and above them is a sky-blue background - a sign of the kingdom of God.

On the left stands Saint John the Baptist, dressed in a goatskin coat and green mantle, holding a scroll with prophetic words about the coming of Christ.
On the right is King Solomon, depicted in royal robes, also holding a scroll with text about God's wisdom.
The entire image is surrounded by a richly ornamented carved border, covered with polished silver. The border is shaped like a braid, a symbol of eternity and the indissoluble unity between Heaven and Earth. There are stylized ornaments In the four corners of the icon, that reminiscent of the paradise beauty and harmony.
The halos are made with pure 24-karat water gilding, which symbolizes the Divine light and the heavenly glory.
