Icon of the subject "Virg in the Burning Bush", taken from the image of the Old Testament
Originally, it represented a burning bush with the Virgin Mary and the prophet Moses kneeling in front of her. In the 16th century, a more complex image appeared with Jesus and the Virgin in the center of an octagonal star
Our icone is relating by its style to the school of Gouslitsa, a city close to Moscow and an important center of Old Believers in the 19th century.
