Abstract

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation
Collection holds a Greek engraving
depicting the Second Coming and the
Last Judgment.1 In this case, the pans
of a balance scale, held by the hand of
God, serve to weigh the deeds of the
naked soul. Printed using a copper
plate, the engraving belongs to a category
of objects called paper icons and
can be dated to the early nineteenth
century.
