Virgin and Child from the Rabbula Gospels (Syriac manuscript) Wood Plaque Icon

Among the earliest works of Byzantine iconography, the original painting is from a sixth-century manuscript of the Gospels in Syriac (Peshitta version), completed at the Bēṯ Zaḡbā Monastery in northern Syria. It shows the Virgin Mary standing under a colorfully patterned aedicule, holding her son Jesus, who faces us. Perched on the roof are two peacocks, a symbol of resurrection and eternal life.
