Description

A contemporary religious icon depicting the Mother of God Hodegetria with the Christ Child. The item is a high-quality colour print mounted on a light-coloured wooden board with a recessed arched kovcheg. The iconography features the Greek abbreviations IC XC (Iisous Khristos) and MP OY (Meter Theou). A vertical Cyrillic inscription in Ukrainian is located along the lower right edge: ФУНДАТОР: РОМАН ЛЕВИЦЬКИЙ ТРЕНТОН, ЗСА (Fundator: Roman Levytskyi Trenton, ZSA). This translates to Donor: Roman Levytskyi, Trenton, USA, identifying the patron and the origin within a Ukrainian diaspora community in the United States. The icon is a modern production.
