In short, yes. At least I know that for sure that the Copts have their own iconographic traditions and am pretty sure that the other Oriental Churches do as well. You can try googling it and seeing the different types of iconographic traditions their are. What I was surprised about is that when I’ve seen videos of inside a Coptic church, there were icons that had little lightbulbs on them to make it seem like the icon was moving. For example, there was an icon with what I guess was an Oriental saint on a horse, and there were little lightbulbs outlining the horse’s legs in one position, and then different lightbulbs would light up that outlined the horses legs in another position, giving the appearance that the horse was galloping. As you can see I’m bad at explaining things and I don’t have the time right now to try and say it any clearer or to look it up. But if I find an example online I’ll post it here.Do the Oriental traditions other than the Copts and Ethiopians have their own tradition of iconography? I know many armenians were employed by the greeks for their iconographic skills but this seems to have been for the Chalcedonian Church and in the traditions of byzantium. Do the Armenians, or Syriac or the indian churches have their own iconography? Thanks!
I’m sure Malphono and Marduk will reply
