Vintage Orthodox Icon Mary & Jesus 1940s Hand-Painted Wood Wall Hanging

Vintage Orthodox Christian Icon – Mary & Jesus – 1940s – Hand-Painted on Solid Wood

A beautiful vintage Orthodox icon hand-painted in oil on a single solid wood panel, featuring the Virgin Mary (Theotokos) holding the Infant Jesus. Created in the 1940s, this piece reflects classic Eastern Christian devotional art with warm earthy tones, gold halos, and expressive faces.

This icon was discovered in Ukraine and has remained unrestored, preserving its original character. A natural vertical crack is visible (as shown in photos), common in older icons due to wood aging, and does not affect its structural integrity or display. A metal hanging loop is attached on the back for immediate wall display.
