A small, rectangular Eastern Orthodox icon is held upright by a person, with their fingers visible at the top and bottom edges of its frame. The icon depicts the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. Mary, featuring a golden halo, is shown in the upper part of the image, adorned in blue-green and reddish-gold garments, her gaze directed slightly to the right. Her right hand is raised. The Christ Child is partially visible in the lower central part, clad in a red garment, appearing to be held by Mary. The artistic style is characteristic of traditional Byzantine or Orthodox iconography. The icon is set within a reddish-brown frame, which is intricately decorated with gold-colored ornamental patterns. The frame shows minor wear, particularly at the corners and edges. A significant bright glare is present on the icon's surface, obscuring some details in the lower central area, over the depiction of the Christ Child. The background behind the icon is dark and out of focus, indicating an indoor setting or low-light conditions. Faint, unreadable inscriptions, typical of identifying figures in Orthodox icons (likely Greek or Cyrillic), are visible in the upper left and right corners of the icon's image. No other discernible text is present on the frame or within the depiction. The image captures the simple act of holding this religious object. Given the context, this icon is from Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
