A magnificent hand-painted Russian Orthodox icon depicting several of the most venerated miracle-working icons of the Mother of God, beautifully arranged around the central image of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos (Pokrov). This impressive composition reflects the deep Marian devotion of the Russian Orthodox tradition and was created for both prayer and veneration. Painted in traditional egg tempera on a large wooden panel, the icon preserves its authentic character with original gilded details, expressive hand-painted faces, and centuries of natural patina. Despite significant devotional wear accumulated over generations, the icon retains remarkable historical presence and spiritual beauty. Its untouched surface, extensive age-related patina, and impressive dimensions make it a highly desirable piece for collectors of authentic Russian Orthodox icons. Condition: Original hand-painted surface with age-related paint losses, craquelure, oxidation, and areas of wear consistent with its age. The wooden panel remains structurally sound with its original construction preserved.
