Each apostle finely painted with extensive chrysography, Judas is depicted on the lower row left of center holding a money bag and the ornate gilt inscription above the head of Christ identifies the scene as The Mystical Supper of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The size of this icon would suggest it was once placed above the Royal Doors in an iconostasis which was the usual placement for this subject matter.
