Possible from Moscow (Muscovite) School, 18th century. The central panel is a copy of the Tikhvin icon of the Virgin and Child (venerated since ca. 1383 A.D.), while the surrounding panels portray events and miracles connected with the original icon. Iconographically, this rendering of the Mother and Child is known by the name of “Virgin Hodegetria,” or “Pointer of the Way,” because Mary indicates the Child with the right hand, while the Child performs the blaessing with His right hand. An icon of this type is called Kleyma because of the separate paintings around the margin. The painting is overlaid with a silver basma, probably 19th century, with brass medallions upon which are inscribed commentaries on the small paintings. The commentary is in Church Slavic but under a very strong Russian influence. The original icon is venerated on the 26th of June by the Julian calendar (July 9 Gergorian calendar.
