| Reverse description | A full-colour reproduction of the renowned Byzantine icon of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, depicting the Virgin Mary in a dark mantle adorned with golden fleur-de-lis stars, holding the Christ Child on her left arm. The Christ Child is shown frontally, wearing ornate robes and raising His right hand in benediction while holding a book in His left. The Virgin's face bears the characteristic scar marks on her right cheek, a distinguishing feature of this sacred image. The composition fills the rectangular field in rich, naturalistic polychrome colour against the deeply recessed mirrored background. |
