In reading what it says, I know some mid eastern languages read from the right to the left, but if you could get a reverse image from a mirror would you be able to read what it might say? It kind of looks like Egyptian Gothic.

Here is a pic from a mirror

It might by Cyrillic. Check out some information on the Eastern Orthodox Church. It's probably a likeness of a saint or a bishop, I'm guessing saint.

twiddling fingers....?

The sign of the blessing - in the name of Jesus Christ. IC XC is an abbreviation for Jesus Christ in Greek (Greek Orthodox).

My favorite Mel Brooks routine - from the movie "The History of the World: Part 1 - Mel as 'the waiter' at the Last Supper.

not Ukrainian and not Russian, perhaps Serbian or Bulgarian. Painted in an Icon style, obviously orthodox...some of the letters seem to be written in an older style no longer formed in that way....the first pictures are the proper orientation.

 

[jtw1313]

Thinking writing might be artist signature
But I'm not sure what the letters even are lol

 

[Possum]

The writing is Cyrillic and I'm leaning towards the person being Saint Nicolas... JMO "D"
