Executed in incised lines and limited coloration, the piece relies on a restrained palette of red, black, yellow, and the natural hue of the wood. The schematic rendering reduces anatomical details to essential forms, while the surrounding vegetal motifs are applied with a loose, vertical incising technique.

The work bears the date 1941, indicating a 20th‑century reproduction or continuation of a folk iconographic tradition that peaked in the 1600s–1700s and waned by the late 1800s. Its survival suggests it was kept in a domestic setting, likely passed through private hands before entering a collection.

The icon belongs to a broader category of Romanian folk art objects that combined religious imagery with everyday life. The decline of such household icons at the end of the 19th century corresponded with urbanization and the spread of printed religious images, which gradually replaced hand‑crafted versions.
