Gilding polished iconography is a technique that gives a glossy and smooth texture to sacred icons and on Mount Athos, this tradition is deeply rooted. Using special materials such as egg white, the surface of the icon is carefully polished, enhancing the colors and adding depth, as seen in many Athonite icons renowned for their spiritual power. This iconography is done on natural wood, meticulously prepared by the monks. The wood is coated with gesso to create a stable and smooth base, ensuring that the burnished surface retains its shine and durability over time, remaining worthy of the Athonite tradition.
- The production time for each handmade icon is up to 15 days, plus additional shipping time to your region.
