Jesus Christ - Embossed Wooden Aged Icon on Canvas with Golden Background

Icon's History

The icon is inspired by the image of Christ Pantocrator found in the Vatopedi Monastery and is chronologically dated to the late 13th century. The iconographer emphasizes the teaching aspect of Christ, with the closed Gospel book in the left hand of Jesus. This specific iconographic type is not commonly encountered during the Byzantine period.

 

Icon Materials

• The images are constructed from copper, silver-plated with 999/1000 silver, and gold-plated with Au 24-karat gold.
• The frames on the images with glass are made of synthetic material to avoid woodworm or other parasites. They do not require a pest control certificate.
• The rest are made from MDF, lined with high-quality veneer.
• The faces are silk-screen printed or, where this is not possible in order to accurately depict the face, digitally printed with UV colors that remain unchanged over time.
