Description from the seller
Russian Orthodox brass icon of the Mother of God with Christ Child – 19th century
Beautiful Russian Orthodox brass icon with a refined depiction of the Mother of God with the Christ Child, executed in high relief. This type of devotional icon was particularly popular in the 19th century within the Russian Orthodox tradition and served as a personal prayer and protection object.
Description
The icon shows the Mother of God in an intimate pose with the Christ Child in her arm. Both figures are adorned with a halo and richly detailed garments in accordance with traditional Orthodox iconography. Surrounding the scene are angel figures and Church Slavonic inscriptions, which enhance the spiritual character of the object.
The upper edge features a decorative coronation with small saints and angelic representations in openwork relief. The composition is elaborately worked with graceful ornaments and fine details, characteristic of Russian cast icons from the 19th century.
The brass surface has developed a beautiful dark patina over the years, giving the icon extra depth and authenticity. Such icons were produced in specialized Russian workshops and were cherished as a home icon or personal devotional object.
