The Silver Icons in this special category are exact handmade copies, and for this reason, the dimensions are specific, the hooks for hanging on the wall are nails for horseshoes, and the nails on the periphery of the icons that hold the frame are different, as they were in the original icons.
The themes are painted on canvas by experienced iconographers in the traditional manner of Byzantine art. The wood is oak and comes from the Mount Athos area. The icons are silver with special treatment to remain unchanged through the years. Some icons have gilded details.
The openings of the faces, hands, and other details of the depicted saints are done by hand, one by one. The halos are made in a similar manner.

"...Well, after I had sent my first message earlier today, I returned home and found a very large parcel left at my doorstep! So the icon arrived, and in perfect shape... there may have been some delay due to U.S. Customs, as the documents pouch seems to have been inspected. The icon is wonderfully beautiful - I had not expected such a fine piece for such a small price. It is indeed a work of art, and a worthy tribute to the Holy New-Martyr Angelis! Thank you again for your concern and help. I am very glad that the package arrived, and I am sorry if it caused you any trouble. Thank you again, for excellent service and for this beautiful icon! ..."
