Stylistic traits of your icon
Golden background → symbol of the divine and eternal
Frontality and hieratic pose → figures outside of time
Elongated proportions → spiritualization of the body
Inscriptions in Cyrillic → probable Russian origin
Visible wear → antiquity or prolonged devotional use

This icon is not narrative, but theological:

It does not tell a story, but presents a truth:

Salvation is obtained through intercession and mercy
