One of these artworks allegedly discovered floating in a forest may have been a wedding gift presented by a prince. The Keramion is a type of this artwork made “without hands.” One of these artworks was painted by Daniel Chorny and another (10[1])artist for the interior of the Dormition Cathedral. Those artists also created an artwork of this type depicting the head of a calf in a cup and three angels surrounding a table. These artworks, which may use a riza for protection, often feature (10[1])a figure holding out his right hand and clutching (10[1])a book with his left.
