A lot comprising two framed religious devotional prints. The first item is a large-format lithographic print of the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, also known as the Virgin of the Passion, following Byzantine and Cretan iconographic traditions. The central composition depicts the Mother of God holding the Christ Child, who gazes toward the Archangels Michael and Gabriel carrying instruments of the Passion. The image features traditional Greek abbreviations: MP ΘV (Meter Theou – Mother of God), IC XC (Iesous Christos – Jesus Christ), and OP M and OP Г designating the Archangels. The print is presented in a gold-coloured card mount and a moulded gilt frame. The second item is a framed devotional print of Christ with a crown of thorns, titled Salvador Mundi on the mount. This work is executed in a late-nineteenth or early-twentieth-century style and is housed in a light-coloured card mount within a dark-stained wooden frame. A small adhesive label on the frame of the Salvador Mundi print is marked R945W.

The Our Lady of Perpetual Help print is in generally good condition, with minor surface scuffs and edge wear visible on the gilt frame.
