A remarkable and deeply symbolic icon depicting the revered Protection of the Mother of God, one of the most cherished subjects in Orthodox tradition. The Virgin stands in solemn prayer, extending her sacred veil as a sign of divine protection over humanity, surrounded by apostles, saints, and angels, while Christ appears above in blessing. This composition carries profound spiritual meaning and was historically venerated for its protective power, often associated with both personal devotion and church settings. The icon reflects traditional Russian craftsmanship, with a rich gold ground and expressive figures, preserving its authentic devotional character. The icon remains in honest aged condition, showing natural wear, surface patina, and signs of time that enhance its historical presence. The wooden panel, constructed from two joined planks with an arched top, further confirms its authenticity and age.
