Small Russian Orthodox brass icon of the Nativity of Christ

The Nativity of Christ depicts the birth of Jesus in a cave. The Mother of God lying on a bed. Her husband Joseph ,is standing next to her, arms held in prayer, while a female servant is bringing her food and drink on a tray. The newborn Christ is held by a midwife named Zelomi, who is preparing to wash him. The star above in the left corner is shining at Jesu,s signifying the Divine will. This particular iconography is of late origin and is heavily influenced by the Western depictions showing a cheerful and intimate aspect of the scene.
