![An ancient religious icon, depicting Saint Anastasia Pharmakolytria, is displayed within a glass case in a museum or exhibition setting. The icon, dating to the late 14th century, is in a fragmented state, horizontally split into three distinct pieces, revealing its age and possible past damage. The edges of the icon's wooden panel are rough, dark, and appear heavily weathered or corroded, suggesting its recovery from a challenging environment.
The painting style is characteristic of Byzantine iconography. The saint is depicted frontally, adorned with a halo, and holds an object resembling a small vial or chalice in her left hand, while her right hand is raised in a gesture. A red cross is prominently marked on her chest. The background of the icon shows remnants of what was likely gold leaf, now darkened and distressed.
The icon is illuminated by artificial light, casting some reflections on the glass display case, which obscure parts of the museum environment. An informational label is visible to the right of the icon.
The visible text on the label, in both Greek and English, identifies the artwork:
Greek: "Εικόνα αγίας Αναστασίας Φαρμακολύτρ[ιας]" ("Δεξιά από Πότων") τέλη 14ου αι. μ.Χ. ΝΕΑ Μουσείο, Αρ. Κατ. 2049
