Vintage Orthodox religious icon pendant, double-sided.
One side depicts Virgin Mary with Child (Theotokos / Hodegetria), the other features a Christian cross with IC XC NIKA inscription.
This type of pendant is commonly known as a pilgrim icon, traditionally worn as a devotional item.
The metal appears to be silver, however it has not been tested.
No visible hallmarks — typical for older pilgrimage icons.
Details:
Double-sided design
Non-magnetic (tested)
Nice aged patina
Rectangular shape
Bail intact, ready to wear or collect
Material disclaimer:
Metal is untested. Described to the best of my knowledge.
A great piece for collectors of religious jewellery, Orthodox art, or antique devotional items.
