Orthodox icon of the Mandylion of Jesus Christ on thick plywood 20mm, which does not sting and keeps its shape over time. Preparation with acrylic stucco and have been used acrylic colors. It has been covered with varnish to keep the colors undiluted in time and humidity. Hanging clip included on the back of the icon.
NOTICE: This icon is not painted by me...but you will receive the same style of icon with gold background and a little different colors and details.
The Mandylion was believed to be a linen towel that had touched the face of Christ that retained his features from the sweat of his brow imprinting on the cloth. The story was that Christ Himself had sent his image in this impression to an Eastern prince who wanted to meet him, but was unable to make it to Palestine. Christ was said to have sent this towel to the prince along with a letter. It was believed the towel survived several hundred years as a treasured heirloom of Christ.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
My handpainted icons are made from natural materials that constantly interact with their environment. These above materials are sensitive to extreme light, heat and humidity.
Handling the icons should also be done cautiously; oils from our hands can stain their shiny surface. Dust can softly be removed with a pure white cloth.
Following the above simple instructions will guarantee that your icon will age gracefully through time and will be enjoyed by the generations to come.
