Description from the seller

Russian icon depicting the Virgin Orans, wrapped in the maphorion, with the Infant Christ enclosed in a roundel at waist height.

This iconography takes its name from the Blachernae Basilica in Constantinople and is inspired by the ancient mosaic that decorated its apse.

Painted on a wooden board, with a gilded background enriched by punched floral motifs and polychrome.

General condition good, consistent with the age, with an antique patina, some paint losses and light signs of time.

Dimensions: 35.5 x 30.5 x 2 cm.

Adequate packaging and fast shipping.
