About this piece
What it shows
This is the Hodegetria type, “she who shows the way”: Mary holds the Child on her arm and gestures towards him, directing all who look at her to Christ. The Jerusalem form of the icon is one of the best loved in the Holy Land.
How it is made
The golden mantle is worked in fine lines of gold over ochre, a technique called assist, so the robe catches the light as you move. The panel edge is shaped and darkened.
