The image is screen printed on cotton canvas and gold leaf is applied by hand. Halos, letters, and other ornaments are hand-painted. The canvas is then mounted on a solid natural carved wood board and varnished for long-lasting protection. The icon is ready for hanging, featuring a leather strap on the back and a certificate of authenticity.

WHY SILKSCREEN? IS IT BETTER THAN STANDARD ICON PRINTS?
– Silkscreen printing produces higher fidelity results with more vibrant colors which are hard to replicate using other printing techniques. It also allows for sharper, cleaner lines and more well-defined details.
– Silkscreen printing deposits a thicker layer of ink during the process, which results in more pigment on the material keeping the colors vibrant longer without ever losing the quality of the print.
