Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Panagia the Glykofilousa Kardiotissa.
The miraculous Icon of Panagia Kardiotissa is a type of "Glykophilousa" ("Sweet Kissing") icon, which depicts the Virgin Mary caring for her son, Jesus Christ.
It dates from the 15th century and is attributed to the painter Angelos Akotantou from Crete.
The aging technique is meticulously applied to the Icon by hand and gives it the look of time while the depiction retains its artistic details.
