Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene / Sv. rivnoapostol’na Mariya Mahdalyna

Below is an image of Mary Magdalene in a ¾ turn to the right, praying in a cave. The figure is slightly bent forward. The arms, bent at the elbows with the hands tightly intertwined, are raised to the chin. The figure is dressed in a red dress, belted with a black narrow belt, a white cloak on the right shoulder, falling in folds, a blue cloak covering the lower part of the figure, thrown over the left arm. Face: open, slightly convex forehead, thin, straight eyebrows, large, upwardly directed black eyes, straight, thin nose, small mouth. His dark brown hair, parted in a straight parting, falls in strands to his chest and below his shoulders. Above his head is a halo of diverging golden rays. In the lower right corner is a flat stone. There is a skull and an open book on it, and a brown cross in the background. In the upper left corner is a window. At the top right is a part of the sky and a tree branch. The inscription on top is in orange Church Slavonic. The icon has been restored, with craquelure under a thick layer of varnish over the entire surface.
