The "Trifacial Six-armed Trinity" is an Orthodox icon painted in 1750, currently housed in the Hilandar Monastery, Mount Athos, Greece. This icon depicts the Holy Trinity as a single figure with three faces and six arms, a common representation in Eastern Orthodox art. The icon's stylistic features are typical of Byzantine iconography, with a rigid frontal pose and flat, stylized forms. The use of gold leaf for the halo and background highlights the divine nature of the subject.
