The Archangel Gabriel, from an Annunciation scene on the King's Door of an iconostasis
The story
The Archangel Gabriel stands against a gold background, painted on wood in the late 1400s. He was originally one half of an Annunciation scene that decorated a door on the screen separating the altar from worshippers in an Orthodox church. The gold marks him as belonging to the divine.
