A tarnished, rectangular metal basma (oklad) covers an Orthodox icon depicting the Virgin Mary and Christ Child, held vertically by a human hand. The basma, likely of brass or bronze, features embossed patterns including floral motifs, geometric borders, and radiating halos around the painted faces and hands of Mary and the Child. The visible skin tones in the painted areas are yellowish. The metal shows extensive tarnish, discoloration, and minor deformation, particularly around the Christ Child's halo. A left human thumb, adorned with dark glittery red nail polish, is visible gripping the icon's left edge. The background is blurred, indicating an indoor setting with indistinct wooden surfaces and other dark objects. This scene is located in Chaikovsky, Russia.
