Russian Icon from the Golden Ring

Description

We bought this Russian icon in 1991 from a little town with a monastery in The Golden Ring, which loops around Moscow.

 

I am not really sure but it appears to be copper, heavy grad patina, with oil painting of Mary and child, wrapped around a very dark, aged wood.  Looks hand-hewned, some inscription on bottom front - not sure what it reads.
