This icon portraying the Virgin Mary and Jesus is one of the examples of the use of metal plating as part of the picture, which covers everything apart from the incarnate, that is to say the depiction of human skin. The plating indicates that the image is a specific object of reverence, and at the same time protects it from damage during touching and kissing.
