The Virgin Mary is shown in a three-quarter frontal pose, draped in maphorion, tenderly holding the Christ Child before her chest; the Christ Child bears a nimbus and raises his right hand in blessing. Inscriptions in Cyrillic abbreviations 'МР ΘУ' (Mother of God) appear in the upper corners, and 'ІС ХС' (Jesus Christ) flank the head of the Child. The entire composition is framed by the same elaborate symmetrical floral and foliate scroll ornamentation as the obverse, and the name 'БАРКАЛАБАЎСКАЯ' is inscribed in a panel along the lower border. |
