Description
This exquisite Eastern Orthodox icon depicts the Virgin Mary tenderly holding the Christ Child, a timeless symbol of love, protection, and faith. Crafted in the traditional Byzantine style, the icon features hand-painted faces framed by an ornate silver-toned metal riza (protective cover), highlighting the sacred figures while preserving their spiritual expression.
The embossed metalwork is richly detailed with floral motifs, roses, and decorative patterns, complemented by two angel figures in relief on either side of the Virgin’s halo. Both Mary and the Christ Child are encircled by finely worked halos, emphasizing their holiness. The icon is mounted on a dark wooden base and presented in an elegant gift box lined with soft fabric, making it ideal for gifting or personal devotion.
Perfect for home prayer corners, church use, or as a meaningful religious gift for baptisms, weddings, house blessings, and special occasions.
