Mother of God of the Sign. Russian Orthodox Icon.

Size: 

#48 - S (2½" x 3" on ½" wood).    

Icons manufactured by a Russian supplier using their proprietary process of applying successive layers of color and metallic-like patterns resulting in a brilliant, detailed, and nearly three dimensional appearance. (Note: The photograph of this icon will be updated soon. Actual icons now have reflective silver/gold backgrounds and halos that cover up the green background shown in this old picture)

Icon inscriptions in Church Slavonic.
