Old Russian Copies of the Icon of the Mother of God Three-Handed in Budapest Collections

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents seven hitherto unknown or little known works of the Old Russian icon of the Mother of God Three-Handed, a variant of the Orthodox iconographic type of Hodegetria (an iconographic depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus at her side while pointing at him as the source of salvation for humankind), together with the cultural-historical context of the icon. The icons described are now in collections in Budapest. Some of them are folk art, others were made in well-known workshops.
