The depiction refers to the Old Testament story of Abraham's Hospitality, which within Orthodox iconography is interpreted as a prefiguration of the Holy Trinity. In the background, various elements from the biblical narrative are rendered in relief, including architecture and the Oak of Mamre. Around the depiction runs a decorative border with ornaments and inscriptions. The icon is cast in brass and at the top features an integrated hanging loop with relief decoration. The surface has developed a warm, dark patina that accentuates the recessed parts of the composition.
