| Reverse description | Full-length color depiction of the Valaam Icon of the Mother of God (Theotokos), rendered in the traditional Orthodox iconographic style. The Virgin Mary is shown standing on clouds, dressed in a red maphorion over a blue robe, holding the Christ Child in her left arm; the Child holds a blue orb in his left hand. Both figures are surrounded by a gilded circular nimbus. The background is divided into an ornate gold-plated filigree rinceau pattern on the right and a dark field with matching gilt scrollwork on the left, framing the central sacred image. Cyrillic inscriptions identifying the Virgin and Christ appear within decorative cartouches at the upper left and upper right of the composition. |
