Description from the seller

Greek icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria

An icon from the 19th century in Byzantine style with saints on the fields.

John the Baptist.
2. Archangel Michael.
Saint Pantaleon.
4. Santa Claus?

The Hodegetria (in Greek: οδηγήτρια) would be the oldest type of icon of the Mother of God.
The names attributed to the Mother of God in the Eastern Church are very characteristic: she is called Panaghía (Most Holy), Theotókos (She who bore God) or Mètèr Theou (Mother of God).

Egg tempera, restoration possible.
Due to its age, the icon is in decent condition and has been damaged by beetles.

Dimensions: 35.7 x 25.5 x 2.6 cm.
Weight: 1,050 kg.

Read the description carefully!!!

The icon is very well packed and sent by registered mail through b-post.
