| Reverse description | Full-color representation of the Russian Orthodox icon of the Theotokos known as Softener of Evil Hearts (Seven Arrows), depicting the Virgin Mary facing front in a deep red maphorion and gold-trimmed garments, her hands crossed at the chest with seven swords piercing her from both sides in reference to the prophecy of Simeon. A gilded halo encircles her head, rendered in the Byzantine icon tradition. The image is framed by an elaborate gilded and engraved decorative border with floral and foliate motifs at the corners, evoking the silver oklad (riza) of a traditional icon. A Cyrillic inscription below the image reads ПРЕСВ. БОГОРОДИЦА СЕМИСТРЕЛЬНАЯ, with the date 2012 appearing in the lower left corner of the border. |
