A religious icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, also known as Our Mother of Perpetual Help, produced as a high-quality print mounted on a heavy wooden panel. The subject matter follows the Byzantine-Cretan iconographic tradition, depicting the Virgin holding the Christ Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel present the instruments of the Passion. The gold-coloured ground is decorated with traditional Greek abbreviations including ΜΡ ΘΥ (Meter Theou, Mother of God) in the upper corners, IC XC (Iesous Christos, Jesus Christ) near the Child, and identifying characters for Archangels Michael and Gabriel. The reverse of the dark-stained panel features a printed paper label from Rome and two metal hanging fixtures.
