Sumtsov Kharkiv Historical Museum Ж-1313 The icon is a particular type of the Orans Mother of God (from the Latin orans — "one who prays"), shown with the Lord Jesus Christ upon her breast. The icon shows a three-quarter-length, frontal image of the Mother of God in a blue tunic with a gold border and a red maphorion; around her head is a faint glow and a round halo in the form of a thin circle. Both of the Mother of God's hands, palms open, are bent at the elbow and raised in a gesture of adoration (prayer). On her breast is a three-quarter-length, frontal image of the Infant Christ in a white chiton and a brown himation draped over his left shoulder; around Christ's head is a translucent cruciform halo; his right hand is raised in blessing, his left pressed to his chest. The icon was made in the early 20th century and acquired by the museum in 1993 from Volodymyr Stavriiovych Suslov, a resident of Kharkiv, born in Donetsk region.
