Hi there,

I hope you may help me to recognize the marks which are on the riza of the "Mother of God" icon you can see on

As you see, this, in my opinion, beautiful and well made icon should be from Russia but the marks are not the Russian ones: moreover, I have not even found my icon within the hundreds of kind of "Mother of God" in Russia. I do not think this is from Greece but maybe it could be from Bulgaria or Romania or... Poland: on the back, written in ink, it is still possible to read "Mater Domini" which is "Mother of God" in Latin...
I hope someone could help me and thanks a lot for that.

Greetings from Rome,
Luciano
