Icon of Holy Virgin Hodegetria on marble egg

Icon "Holy Virgin Hodegetria (The One, who shows the Way)" on marble egg - hand-painted

        The central accent is a hand-painted image of the Holy Virgin and Child - an exquisite miniature, created with respect for the Orthodox tradition and attention to detail.

        It is exquisitely recreated on a natural marble egg - a symbol of creation, rebirth and an eternal life.

        The image strictly follows the Byzantine canon - the Holy Mother of God is depicted waist-high, holding the Christ Infant in her left hand, and showing Him with her right hand - as the One,

        who shows the Way and an intercessor for the human race.

        The deep red hues emphasize the holiness of the image, shaped with extreme precision onto the marble base, which adds shine and sophisticated texture.

        Each element is completely hand-painted, making the egg an unique work of art.

        This unique work represents a harmonious synthesis between spiritual depth and high artistic mastery, transmissing the traditions of Medieval icon painting into a modern format,

        that preserves the sacred power of the image.

        The base of the icon is made of solid marble, selected for its beauty, density and durability.

        With the dimensions of 5/6.5 cm., it impresses with its compact but monumental energy.

        Each curve of the egg-shaped wood is carefully polished to reflect the light in a soft and radiant way.

        The exceptional craftsmanship and fine gilding make this work an unique one, suitable for both a personal prayer collection and an exquisite gift with deep meaning.
