A traditional Orthodox icon of Our Lady of the Sign, depicting the Theotokos (Mary) in the orans posture with the Christ Child shown in a medallion on her chest.

Mounted on a hand-carved wooden panel, the 5x7 icon displays subtle relief and texture characteristic of Russian craftsmanship. The reverse bears a stamped seal confirming its origin, and a fitted hook allows for immediate display on a wall or in a home icon corner.
