Summary/Abstract: The first section of the study describes an unknown Byzantine icon, part of a private collection, the central image of which is the scene of the crucifixion (staurósis). According to the hypothesis proposed in the second section of the paper, two of the images among the ones framing the central image are the two separated halves of one single scene, the Ascension of Jesus Christ (analépsis). Two other scenes in the frame have not been identified yet due to damage to the silver plate and are subjects of further research.
