Description:  A beautiful icon in the old Russian style.

The icon is abundantly covered with solid gold. The crown is made with the gold leaf with the imitation of precious stones. The clothes are exquisitely painted with the melted gold. Baby's hair and inscriptions are also made with gold.

The icon is canonical and, despite the abundance of gold, all attention is directed to the faces of the Infant and the Mother of God.

Three fiery Cherubim on the shoulders and forehead of the Mother of God, means the Virgin of the Mother of God. The plot got its name from the laudatory singing of all the heavenly forces in Her honor.

An uninterrupted prayer, akathist to the Mother of God, is performed along the edge of Her amphora.

This icon has a high collection and historical significance by level of performance and it's rarity.
