Vintage USSR “Russian Madonna” Mother & Child Metal Relief Wall Plaque – Soviet Ukraine
An impressive original Soviet-era decorative wall plaque featuring a beautifully detailed Mother and Child / “Russian Madonna” composition in raised metal relief.
The central image depicts a mother tenderly holding a child, surrounded by richly embossed ornamental and floral details. The warm copper-tone highlights contrast beautifully with the darker patinated background, giving the artwork depth and a striking three-dimensional appearance.
One of the most desirable features of this example is the surviving original Soviet factory paper label on the reverse, identifying the piece as “Russian Madonna” (Русская Мадонна) and connecting its manufacture to the Zaporizhzhia Titanium-Magnesium Combine in Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian SSR, USSR.
The original label also displays the article/reference C-3Ж-243a and Soviet technical specification ТУ 48-0513-1-78, providing excellent provenance and authenticity for a collector.
This is not merely a decorative reproduction—the surviving period factory label makes it an especially interesting piece of authentic Soviet decorative art and industrial-era memorabilia.
