The icon "Our Lady of Smolensk" is the embodiment of sacred harmony and a symbol of reliable protection for those on the way. Patroness of travelers and intercessor in difficult times, she unites the prayers of thousands of generations, piercing time with her majestic grace. This is not just a work of art, it is a dialogue with eternity, in which every element breathes deep meaning and solemnity.
The image of the Mother of God, embroidered with mosaic embroidery, is studded with the radiance of precious stones: starry rubies shimmer with the blood-red dew of sacrifice, sapphires radiate heavenly blue, and tourmalines and citrines play with delicate pink and green hues, like the dawn over the promised land. Almandina and pyropa garnets add depth, as if reminding of hardships and redemption. The amazing pearls woven into the image symbolize the purity of faith and all-consuming humility.
The background and ornamental edging of the image are embroidered with beads and rhinestones of Czech and Japanese production, giving the icon a unique shimmer, as if illuminated from within by divine light. The dense velvet on which this miracle is born, like the night sky, frames the faces of the Virgin and the Infant Christ, emphasizing their sanctity and pristine beauty.
The antique carved frame is a true masterpiece of wooden art. Gilded foliage carvings are revealed in the vines, an ancient symbol of prosperity and prosperity. Each cluster, each curled branch seems alive, leading the gaze into a world where the spiritual and the earthly come together. The top of the kiosk is crowned with a decorative glass insert, which depicts the sun's rays, personifying the eternal radiance of faith.
Carefully restored elements — gold leaf, wooden veneer, and the soft sheen of glass — indicate that time has no control over this shrine. The kiosk becomes a guardian, protecting the icon and giving it even greater significance and greatness.
This icon is not just a collection item, it is a symbol of the triumph of the spirit and endless care. It is imbued with the energy of intercession, capable of accompanying its owner through any path, protecting him from the storms of fate and reminding him of the eternal.
The icon was made in Rybinsk (Russia) in the late 19th - early 20th century. Restored.
