Description

“
Our
Lady of Perpetual Help” Icon,
Cobalt
Blue Glass
Medallion, Ornament, Suncatcher
This exquisite glass ornament is a brilliant cobalt blue. The round medallion measures almost 6 inches in diameter. With the hanger, it is about 10 inches long.
I could see this displayed proudly anywhere, on a wall or a window, even on a Christmas tree. The image is that of one of the most beloved
Byzantine
icons of all time,
“Our
Lady of
Perpetual Hel
p
.”
The faces are beautiful, with expressions that show the love between mother and child.
The Madonna reassures the Christ
Child
who has just seen the foreshadowing of his passion and death presented by the angels pictured above them on either side.
The faces have a canvas texture and ar
e decoupaged onto
the glass
.
On
top of that are silver and gold tone metal trim
, called oklad
on traditional icons
.
I’ve never seen anything else like this
.
My
daughter brought it home from a European trip that included Greece and Romania
but
we do not know where this was made
. It
could be from either one of those countries, or possibly Russia
. The
detail is extraordinary, and it’s in perfect condition, with no flaws or repairs.
