I bought this icon of the Theotokos at the Lithuanian market
The seller said it was from Siberia and the writing on the bottom says wonder working icon but the actual name of it is broken off. So Could any one please identify the icon

It's generally of the eleusa type (the Virgin holding the Child cheek to cheek)- in Russia that includes the miracle-working icons called vladimirskaya, donskaya, feodorovskaya, and others. So it's hard to say for sure.
