This 7th century relief, likely created by Orthodox Icon painters, depicts the saints Christopher and George. The figures are carved in a simple yet expressive style, holding staffs and standing in front of a shield with a circular design. The inscriptions framing the figures identify them, with the name "Christopher" visible in the inscription along the left side. The piece is a powerful example of early Christian art, reflecting the enduring veneration of these saints in the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
