Icon frame of the Vladimir Mother of God

The icon's frame is silver- and gold-toned, rectangular, and covered most of the painting, leaving free the faces and hands of the Mother of God, the Infant, and the angels, as well as the Child's feet. The image of the Mother of God is positioned on the right, and Christ on the left. The Mother of God presses the Infant to herself, his cheek touching her face. She wears a tunic and maphorion decorated with a dotted ornament, flowers, and the stars of the Ever-Virgin. Around her head is a round halo with radiating rays, and a crown. Christ wears a shirt-like garment, with a cruciform halo around his head. On either side of the Virgin Mary and Christ are the figures of two angels, above whom are acanthus leaves. The frame has a border decorated with a floral ornament; at the bottom center, within a rectangular cartouche, is the Church Slavonic inscription: "This riza was made in the year 1767."

The icon's frame was made in 1767.

The icon's frame belonged to the collection of the pre-war Sloboda Ukraine Museum named after H. S. Skovoroda. During the Second World War it was evacuated and returned to Kharkiv in 1944.
