Original antique icon of Mother of God "Softener of Evil Hearts"
This icon of the Mother of God "Softener of Evil Hearts" was painted in the 19th century, circa 1880, and is covered with a metal riza. The splines are no longer in place, as is common with early icon panels. Rare subject. Part of one of the hands of the Theotokos is missing, but is not distracting to the overall composition.
Sized at 10 1/2" x 9 1/4" x 15/16"
