RARE ANTIQUE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX ICON BURNING BUSH
A rare antique Russian Orthodox hand painted icon of Mother Of God Burning Bush. Mixed media painting: egg tempera, gold leaf, gesso on wood panel. Inscribed upper to the center. Circa: 1700s. An ancient Unburnt Bush Icon shows a bush engulfed in flames. The Virgin, with her Child in her arms, is seen above the Bush. This image is rare. Later Icons depict an octagonal star with the Mother of God in the center with a circle of Cherubim around her. She is shown holding Jacobs Ladder, for she calls us to ascend from earth to Heaven. Sometimes the gate and the rod are depicted as symbols of the Savior, Who in Church hymns is called a rod from the root of Jesse. Antique Russian religious items and collectibles.
Dimensions: 12 1/4" x 10" in. All measurements are approximate.
