About the Item

An important 19th century Kütahya pottery icon tile of The Virgin Mary and Christ Child, Turkey circa 1850.

On her covered head she is wearing a crown, surrounded by an illuminating halo. The child Jesus is seated on the Virgin Mary’s lap and is depicted with black hair and an illuminating halo with a cross and the infant's hand resting on a bible.
