The image is a full-length icon of John the Baptist, depicted as an angel, standing against a neutral background. He has feathered wings, a halo, and long brown hair. In his left hand, he holds a chalice containing a small figure of Christ, and in his right hand, he holds a scroll with text. John is wearing a brown garment over a green robe. The lower portion of the icon depicts several scenes from his life. On the left, a group of figures, some wearing red robes, are gathered, with a red cloak and bag on the ground. In the center, John the Baptist is shown baptizing several individuals in a river. On the right, a fortified structure, possibly a city or castle, is depicted. A soldier, dressed in red and green, is shown carrying a decapitated head on his shoulder, with a sword in his hand. A chalice is also visible in this scene. Trees and rocky terrain are present throughout the lower register. The icon has a wooden frame and exhibits signs of age and wear, with cracks and paint loss visible. The text at the top and on the scroll is in an unidentifiable script. The icon is displayed on a gray shelf in front of a dark gray wall. The description of the city of Perm, Russia, is not present in the image itself. However, based on the style of the icon and its likely origin, it could be an artifact displayed in a museum in Perm, such as the Perm State Art Gallery.
