Antique Russian Icon Gilt Silver Enameled Virgin Mary Jesus Christ Religious
Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus. The riza / oklad feels thick to be silver?
In my opinion, but it is hallmarked 84, and dated 1976. Bit of research shows the hallmark is same as any other Russian silver hallmarks.
I assume the painting of the characters is also from the date. The halo of the characters feels older, it could be from the late 19th Century. Gilding color on a few spots as you can see, and on halo. Very beautiful Enamel on the Riza. The whole icon looks breathtaking in real life!
Technique of the characters is oil painting on wood in my opinion. Size of the icon is ca: 12.2 x 10.43 x 0.98 inches / 31 x 26.5 x 2.5 cm. The item show small wear due to age and storage, but still looks good. Minimal wear on the riza / oklad.
