Features
Each icon in our workshop is made to last a lifetime

premium solid-core wood panel — then hand-finished with a natural beeswax
coating that deepens the colors, protects the surface, and gives each piece the
warm, reverent quality of a traditionally crafted sacred object. A metal
hanging hook is included on the back, so your icon is ready to display the
moment it arrives.
