This is for an interesting Russian silver travelling icon from the 1800s. It is hand painted the various panels exposed beneath the silver and showing Madonna and child. There are Russian marks to the front and on the very edge and it has a soft plush backing with little hanging loop to the top. It is a very nicely detailed icon with a fair amount of age i would say, there is some wear as you would expect...see pics, but overall its not too bad and as you can see it displays really nic...ely. It measures 57mm x 67mm.
