This triptych icon was probably commissioned by a lay person for private prayer and meditation, and could be folded shut when not in use. The scenes shown, from left to right, are the Crucifixion, the Resurrection and Anastasis, and the Adoration of the Miracle-Working Icon of the Vladimir Mother of God; small portable icons like this were common in later Russian religious practice.
