The names given to the Mother of God in Eastern Christianity are very characteristic: she is called Panaghía (the All-holy), or Theotókos (the-God-bearer), or Mètèr Theou (Mother of God).

Eitempera, restoration possible.
Due to age, the icon is in reasonable condition and has been affected by a beetle.
