$96.99 USD
Description

aThis image is a Greek Orthodox Byzantine icon depicting the Virgin Mary (Panagia) and the Christ Child. These types of icons commonly consist of an embossed layer of sterling silver (often 925 or 950 purity) or silver plating over a wooden base. Gold plating or accents are also typical, representing divine light.

The figures have halos, and inscriptions in Greek identifying them are often visible in the background. The Virgin Mary's hand is often shown directing the viewer's attention to Jesus, which is characteristic of the "Hodegetria" or "Guide" style. Angels are also visible in the upper corners.
