I was aware of the exhistence of icons from Russia, Egypth, Ethiopia, all dealing with religious orthodox subjects, but I was very surprised, after the visit of the Russian Cultural Centre, to find in a shop in Kathmandu a Buddhistic icon. The icon is metallic, in the middle is the representation of the Buddha in a meditative posture and on the sides are pictures representing scenes of his life. This icon remind the Russian icones of saints, in which the prortrait of a saint is in the middle of the icon and the scenes of his life are inside "xleimi", square pictures, on the sides. I remind you that the icons represent one of the centres of interest of our M.Polo Club.
Salutations
