This is an image of an Orthodox icon depicting the Theotokos (Mother of God) with three other figures, likely saints. The central figure, the Theotokos, is larger and stands behind the other three. She is depicted wearing a dark blue veil and robe, holding a cross in her right hand. The three smaller figures, two on either side of the central figure and one slightly to her left, are identified by inscriptions above them. The inscription above the central figure appears to read "СТА.М.ЦА" and "ТОФА," which may refer to a saint or a location. To the left, the inscription reads "СТА.М.НАДЕЖДА," likely indicating Saint Hope. To the right, the inscription reads "СТА.М.ЛЮБОВ," likely indicating Saint Love. All three smaller figures are depicted with halos and are holding crosses, suggesting they are female saints. The icon is painted on wood with a gold background. The overall style suggests a traditional Byzantine or post-Byzantine iconography. The image is likely located in the city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, a city with a rich history of Orthodox Christianity and numerous churches and monasteries that house such icons. Specifically, this icon may be found in one of Plovdiv's historic churches or museums, such as the Church of the Holy Constantine and Helena, or the Ethnographic Museum.
