Featured Another Russian Scene Mystery

I have another unidentifed piece of art from Russia. And to make it more mysterious I saw almost the exact same piece at an antique mall for $125. The owner of the booth was not there so I could not ask any questions. It’s made of metal. Bronze? It’s a bit heavy

 

Very nice! Found this similar one on PicClick; the Ebay page doesn't have any pictures anymore.

Is there a way to do that so fast that I should know how to do? Lol
this is so helpful. At the same time I am learning what keywords to use when searching.

Hehe, it's just a matter of practice
I googled "russian enamel cathedral plaque" then searched Google Images

 

Nice. My parents had one which they bought new in the 70s. Enameled copper. This could be the same age. It was nowhere near the prices they're asking in the links.

 

I think it's the church in the third image on this page:

3. Church of St. Nicholas in village of Panilovo, Arkhangelsk Region. Built in 1600



The photo of the label on the back of your plaque is very blurry but I was able to work out some of it.

 

Wow! I will see if I can take a clear picture of the back later tonight after work.
Thank you! This is so interesting. I love finding where the original scene was.

 

You're welcome! Often the labels on these sorts of commercially produced items will give some identification of what it is.
