Embroidered icon of the Resurrection of Christ, in a repoussé vermeil box. Greece, 1820-1830. Icon woven and embroidered with gold thread, silver thread and small river pearls. The repoussé silver case features a hinged rectangular flap decorated with a double-headed eagle holding in its talons a cross and an Orthodox episcopal crosier beneath an imperial crown, the symbol of the patriarchs of Constantinople. On either side of the eagle, an inscription: Κ[Ύ]Ρ[Ι] * ΛΛΟΣ / Ε[ΛΈΩ] * Θ[ΕΟΎ] / ΑΡ * ΧΙΕ[ΠΊΣΚΟΠΟΣ] / ΚΩΝΣΤ[ΑΝΤΙΝΟΥ] * ΠΌΛΕ[ΩΣ] / ΝΈΑΣ Ρ[Ώ] * Μ[ΗΣ] Κ[ΑΙ] ΟΙΚΟΥ[ΜΕΝΙΚΌΣ] / Π[ΑΤ]Ρ[Ι]Ά* ΡΧΗΣ (Κύριλλος ελέω θεού αρχιεπίσκοπος Κωνσταντινουπόλεως Νέας Ρώμης και οικουμενικός πατριάρχης), (Cyril by the mercy of God Archbishop of Constantinople the New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch) which corresponds to the full titulature of the Patriarch of Constantinople. To the left of the crown, two depictions of cities, with their symmetrical counterparts to the right, all surmounted by a trophy of arms. The frame of this flap is decorated with horns of plenty, foliage and flowers. The opening reveals the inner icon. The upper part of the case is in the form of a pediment decorated with flowers supporting an imperial crown. The back of the case is equipped with a hinged foot. 27.5 x 21 cm Slightly missing. In a red morocco case framed with gilded iron scrolls. Patriarch Cyril VI (Konstantin Serpedzoglou 1769-1821) was Patriarch of Constantinople from 1813 to 1818. Born in Andrinople, of which he was metropolitan, he was executed there by the Turks in repression of the Greek revolt. The city represented with the double wall is undoubtedly Constantinople, renowned for its multiple ramparts, and the other city could be Andrinople. The trophy of arms is probably an allusion to the armed Greek revolt of 1821. The Resurrection is a symbol of the resurrection of the Greek people, as well as that promised to the unfortunate patriarch (canonized in 1993).
