An Eastern Orthodox icon of The Mother of God and Christ child, 19th century and later,

tempera on panel, both figures depicted beneath a jewelled oklad, enclosed within a foliate-chased frame

27 x 22cm; framed 37 x 32cm

Condition Report:

The oklad is probably a later addition. Mostly in good order and intact, albeit with some peeling and a few small holes and tears. Oklad sits slightly proud in places, insecurely affixed to frame. Significant discolouration to the frame. Some peeling and tears to frame. Icon is insecurely enclosed within frame, would benefit from strengthening. Some losses to back of panel, which have been slotted back into place but not secured. General wear throughout, consistent with age and use.
