The term Platytera or Platytera of the Heavens is the name given to the icon of the Virgin Mary that is painted on the inner upper part of the central niche of the Holy Step (commonly known as the Sanctuary) of Christian churches. Platytera is usually depicted seated on a throne, holding the Christ child in her arms, with a cloud at her feet. But many times it is also performed in a standing position with arms outstretched and slightly raised.

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.
