This is a farily typical depiction of what may be a copy of a modern Egyptian icon. It represents Jesus Christ, holding a book with his left arm.

Ancient Egyptians, as well as other Christian icons are characterized by:

* Large and wide eyes symbolize the spiritual eye that look beyond the material world. The Bible says "the light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be simple, thy whole body shall be full of light" [Matthew 6:22].
* Large ears listen to the word of God. The Bible says "if any man have ears to hear, let them hear" [Mark 4:23].
* Gentle lips to glorify and praise the Lord, for the Bible says "My mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips" [Psalm 63:5].
* Small mouths, so that they cannot be the source of empty or harmful words.
* Small noses, because the nose is sometimes seen as sensual.
* Large heads, which imply that the figure is devoted to contemplation and prayer.
