The icon shows St. George in the centre. Twelve scenes from his life are grouped around this representation. Greek vita icons of the saint are extremely rare. It is also unusual that George can be seen here as a head-bearer (Kephalophoros), an iconographic feature that first appeared in the 16th c. on wall paintings on St. Mount Athos.
