Description

Hand-Painted Bulgarian Icon of Virgin Mary on Wood Slab, Ermini Workshop

This hand-painted Bulgarian Orthodox icon depicts the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child in a stylized Feodorovskaya composition. Created by the Ermini workshop, it is rendered on a solid 0.75-inch wooden slab using traditional techniques stated on the accompanying certificate. Warm gold and earthen tones highlight the expressive, elongated features typical of regional devotional art, while hand-applied detailing enhances its spiritual presence. The reverse bears the original Ermini certificate, noting Bulgaria as the place of origin and identifying the artist as Rumen Nochev.

Wall-mountable and sized for intimate display, this icon offers both devotional use and decorative appeal. A meaningful addition to any icon collection or a striking accent for a sacred space.


CONDITION

In excellent condition overall, with no remarkable damage noted. Wood, paint, and gilding remain clean and stable, with only minimal surface variations inherent to hand-painted icons.
