- Iconography
- Saint John Prodromos facing full-length, holding a long, very rustic cross in his left hand, his right hand resting on a rectangular object. Under the outstretched left arm is a chrism rather than a six-pointed star. The drawing is very frustrated, the proportions of the body and the gestures awkward.
