An Orthodox Icon of Theotokos as Virgin Hodegetria

19th century, likely Russian, gesso and tempra on panel, the holy figures set against a crimson ground with dark border, verso with faint inscriptions (appear later).

12 x 10 x 1 1/2 in.

Some scatterd paint losses primarily to edges; nails to profile suggest possibly once having silver oklad; slight convex warp to panel.
