The Iveron Mother of God | High quality serigraph icon on wood | Size: 7" x 5,5" | Made in Russia

Handcrafted in warm, earthy colours in the traditional style, the icon portrays the Mother of God Iverskaya. The Mother of God and the Christ Child are depicted against a gold leaf background. The Virgin is shown bust-length, wearing a gold-embroidered maphorion with an azure blue lining, richly jewelled and with detailed tassels on the sleeves; with her left hand, she points towards her infant son, as a path of salvation. Seated on her left arm, dressed in a folded himation spangled with stars and holding a scroll in his left hand, a symbol of divine revelation, the Christ Child raises his right hand in a gesture of blessing. The outer border of the icon is painted with St.Mary of Egypt and the Angel Guardian.
