Joy of All Who Suffer
Above there is fitted an older, heavily used by the carrier, brass travel icon made in the 18th Century. Which gives meaning to the whole icon since it was crafted to be its recipient.
The unusual travel icon shows the iconography of the Joy of All Who Suffer, which shows the Blessed Virgin Mary surrounded by the believers praying for her and God father appearing between clouds blessing the whole scene.
This makes this unique icon rich in history and iconography and it has somewhat “hard to explain” divine aura. A rare collector item.

Condition
