Any Middle Age Icon experts out there?

[Heroics]

Hello, I'm very interested in learning more about this Icon. I have attached some photos for review and would greatly appreciate anyone that feels they could add valued input or point me in the right direction. This came from the collection of an estate belonging to a gentlemen whom held:

Master’s Degree in English Bible
Doctor of Ministry with an emphasis in Near Eastern Archaeology
PhD-ABD in Archaeology

The Icon was located in his Knights Templar section of a personal museum.

Thank you very much in advance to anyone willing to help!

Welcome to Tnet.

Cool items. The painting is a Russian Orthodox icon and it looks like it might be Saint Theodosius of Chernihiv (c. 1630–1696) although the icon was probably painted in the 19th Century. He was an Archbishop, revered as a miracle worker, known for his righteous life, dedication to Orthodox traditions, and compassionate leadership.

Saint Theodosius of Chernihiv

Thank you for your reply! The Icon is done on a a pure silver plate. Does this help date it?

Nice. No, I think more an indication of the reverence in which it was held rather than when it was painted... except to say it's not modern, but that's obvious from the general appearance anyway.

Thank you! After the info here and talking to an auction house I still have no definitive value on this item because its one of a kind. It ranges from $1000 to 4500 from what I have been told. I added it to our Ebay for what I think is fair.
