Iconography on natural wood is an ancient tradition that continues on Mount Athos. The monks carefully select pieces of wood to create icons of deep spiritual significance. Due to the nature of natural wood, the dimensions of the icons may vary slightly, sometimes by a few centimeters, making each icon unique. This natural variation reflects the authenticity and handcrafted nature of Athonite art.
Mixtion iconography is a traditional gilding technique used in the art of iconography, particularly on Mount Athos. Mixtion, a special adhesive material, is applied to the surface of the icon before the placement of gold leaf, giving the image a radiant and profound appearance. On Mount Athos, this art form is a living tradition, with the monasteries creating icons of great spiritual value. The iconography is done on natural wood, which is carefully and meticulously prepared. The wood is coated with gesso, creating a stable and smooth base, ensuring that the icon remains intact and luminous for centuries.
- The production time for each handmade icon is up to 10-15 days, plus additional shipping time to your region.
