This lovely icon is approx. 3 1/2" by 2 3/4" and features a beautiful image of  Mary and The Baby Jesus - The Virgin Mary Of Kazan. Made of a painted image and highly detailed gold and silver metal set in a dark wooden frame, this is a seriously lovely little Russian Orthodox icon and can be stood as shown or hung on the wall.

Our Lady of Kazan, also called Mother-of-God of Kazan, was a holy icon of the highest stature within the Russian Orthodox Church, representing the Virgin Mary as the protector and patroness of the city of Kazan, and a palladium of all of Russia and Rus', known as the Holy Protectress of Russia. As is the case for any holy entity under a Patriarchate in communion within the greater Orthodox Church, it is venerated by all Orthodox faithful.
