1913 Russian Icon - St. Prince Alexander Nevsky in silver revetment cover and kiot shadowbox frame

Saint Alexander Nevsky (†1263), proclaimed Saint of the Russian Orthodox Church by Metropolite Macariy in 1547, was the Prince of Novgorod and Grand Prince of Vladimir during some of the most trying times in Russian history. Commonly regarded as the key figure of medieval Russia, rose to legendary status on account of his military victories over the German and Swedish invaders while employing collaborationist policies towards the powerful Golden Horde. Saint Alexander Nevsky is depicted full-figured wearing the Imperial gown over a suit of armor and standing next to the draped table with Tsar Monomakh's cap on it

The icon is hallmarked with Moscow town mark dating to 1908-1917 and has presentation inscriptions on the back, dating to 1913 and 1925.
