O Rex Gentium Medieval Christian Art Jesse Tree Metal Ornament

This O Rex Gentium (“O King of the Nations”) ornament features a magnificent 17th-century Russian icon titled Царь царём (“King of Kings”), painted in Murom around 1690. The image depicts Christ enthroned in majesty, reigning as King over all nations—a powerful visual meditation on the final O Antiphon before Christmas. On the reverse, the text reads: “December 22 – O Rex Gentium: O King of the nations, and their desired One, the Cornerstone that makes both one: come and save man, whom Thou formedst out of clay.”

Part of the Jesse Tree and O Antiphon Collection, this ornament invites reflection on Christ’s kingship and the unity of all peoples under His reign. A beautiful devotional accent for Advent or Christmas, and a meaningful gift for those who love sacred art, Christian symbolism, and traditional liturgical prayer.
