Handmade Orthodox Icon
Materials: Wood & Hardboard
Dimensions: 6.5 in. (W) × 17.5 in. (H) × 1.25 in. (D)
A tender portrayal of divine love and protection, this handmade icon of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Child captures one of the most cherished images in Orthodox tradition. Elongated in form and deeply graceful in presence, the icon is mounted on solid wood and hardboard, giving it both visual strength and lasting structure.
The Virgin’s gaze is soft, yet filled with quiet strength, as she holds the Christ Child—God incarnate in the arms of His mother. The design draws inspiration from classical Byzantine iconography, where holiness is expressed not through realism, but through stillness, light, and profound symbolism.
Measuring 17.5 inches in height, this piece is ideal for vertical wall spaces, home icon corners, or devotional niches. Its proportions create a serene focal point, inviting prayer, contemplation, and quiet reverence.
A work not only of craftsmanship, but of faith — made to bless the home and heart of all who behold it.
