Traditional Christian Sacred Craft: Virgin Mary Root of Jesse Miniature Byzantine Icon
Enrich your home and daily devotional life with this handcrafted miniature Byzantine icon portraying the Virgin Mary "Root of Jesse" (Tree of Jesse), showing the Mother of God with the Christ Child amidst the sacred ancestral tree of the prophets.
The inspiration to create these miniature icons was born from a genuine everyday reality: most of us simply do not have sufficient space at home to assemble a large, traditional home altar (iconostasi). In response, we thoughtfully scaled down the overall dimensions while keeping every single iconographic detail intact from full-sized icons. As a result, our miniature icons sacrifice none of the artistry, reverence, or intricate detail of their larger counterparts, offering the exact same spiritual presence in a compact form.
Measuring an ultra-portable 4.2 x 5 cm (1.65 x 1.96 in), it serves as both a space-efficient icon corner piece and a dependable travel keepsake. It fits smoothly into a pocket, wallet, handbag, briefcase, or vehicle compartment for blessing on every journey. Created as a fine lithograph mounted on cured solid wood, it features a gleaming gold-foil background sealed under a protective waterproof varnish overlay to guard against daily handling, wear, and moisture.
