Tela stampata icona per ricamo con perline (senza perline) «Madonna del Calice inesauribile»

«Icon of the Mother of God „Inexhaustible Chalice“» shows the Mother of God with hands raised in prayer and the Christ Child rising from a chalice before her.

What the picture shows

She stands frontally, both hands lifted palms outward. Her robe is a warm rose-red with broad folds, overlaid with patterned turquoise bands. A crown with pointed tips and coloured stones sits on her head. At breast level stands a gold chalice from which the Christ Child rises with his hand raised in blessing; the stem is built from tiers of coloured circles. Her halo is worked in concentric rings of ochre, green and gold against a pale yellow ground with a foliate scroll. The wide border carries blue plaitwork with red and white crosses, and an inscribed plaque runs along the bottom. Coverage is partial — the figures, chalice, crown and border ornament are beaded, while the yellow ground with its scrollwork stays printed.
