Garden of Eden Six-winged Seraph

This sacred image of a six-winged Seraph symbolizes divine love. It is surrounded by a petal-motif filigree, which is a symbol of the blossoming of the Garden of Eden. The six-winged Seraph is the closest of the angelic creatures to the Lord”s celestial powers. Pendants hang from the piece, bearing the Cyrillic letters “C.Э.” which correspond to the Russian initials for the «Garden of Eden.” Alongside this hangs a flaming sword, the main instrument of the celestial angel, which burns and purifies with divine light.
