This antique Russian icon, dating to approximately 1900, depicts the revered Kazanskaya Mother of God. The central image of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child is rendered with traditional iconography. The icon features an intricately crafted sterling silver oklad (riza) adorned with fine cloisonné enamel work, particularly notable in the halos surrounding the figures. The silver oklad is richly decorated with repoussé and chased floral and foliate motifs, characteristic of Russian silversmithing of the period. A cartouche at the bottom bears the inscription "Казанская ПБ" (Kazanskaya PB), identifying the specific iconographic type. The vibrant enamel in shades of blue, white, red, and turquoise enhances the spiritual artistry of this devotional piece. This icon represents a significant example of late Imperial Russian religious art and craftsmanship.
