Description: This exquisite miniature 17th century Orthodox icon of the Mother of God, Patroness of Breastfeeding is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, sure to impress both enthusiasts and collectors alike. With its stunning design and intricate details, it is a beautiful way to share your faith and spirituality. As a general rule, icons strictly followed models and formulas hallowed by Byzantine art, led from the capital in Constantinople. As time passed, the Russians widened the vocabulary of types and styles far beyond anything found elsewhere in the Orthodox world. Icons considered miraculous were said to "appear." The "appearance" of an icon is its supposedly miraculous discovery. "A true icon is one that has 'appeared', a gift from above, and able to perform miracles. This iconic piece features the Virgin Mary gently holding and nursing the infant Jesus, embossed delicately in gold. The colors are rich and vibrant, making the image truly come to life. The icon is mounted on 1/4" wood that is 3" high, 2.5" wide. A description on the back in Russian details the history of the famous icon. I've provided a Google translate photo in the listing. Whether you're a collector or simply looking for a unique and meaningful gift for a new mom, this icon is sure to exceed your expectations.
