About the Item

Imperial Russian Silver-Gilt Depicting Icon of Madonna and Child, 19th Century The silver surface of the rizza is adorned with intricate embossing and engraving, creating a textured and visually captivating background for the central depiction of the Madonna and Child. The embossed details include ornate patterns, floral motifs, and elaborate scrollwork that frame the central image. At the heart of this magnificent rizza is a portrayal of the Madonna and Child, exquisitely rendered in fine detail. The Madonna, the Blessed Virgin Mary, is depicted with a serene and gentle expression, her eyes filled with compassion and love. She is adorned in flowing robes, intricately embossed to depict richly detailed folds and patterns. A halo of radiant silver encircles her head, symbolizing her divine nature. The entire composition is framed by an ornate, embossed border that enhances the overall splendor of the rizza. The silver has been expertly polished to a brilliant sheen, creating a striking contrast between the intricate embossed details and the gleaming surface. The rizza is designed to be suspended or displayed in a prominent place of worship, typically in an Orthodox Christian church or an icon corner within a private home. It serves as a focal point for prayer and contemplation, a visual reminder of the divine love and the sacred bond between the Virgin Mary and her child, Jesus. The artifact depicting the Madonna and Child is a testament to the artistry and devotion of the Russian Orthodox tradition. It combines meticulous craftsmanship with profound religious symbolism, creating a visually stunning and spiritually significant work of art.
