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 similarly.

"...I would like to let you know that I have received the icons today. Very few words can describe my awe at these venerable creations. I don't feel that my home deserves them and that they will find a better place in church. However I cannot think of any better legacy that I would one day leave to my family. Many thanks to you and, your Iconographers and crafts men who worked so hard to make them. May the Lord bless your lives...."
