Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Virgin Mary and Child.
The miraculous Icon of Panagia Kardiotissa is a type of "Glykophilousa" ("Sweet Kissing") icon, which depicts the Virgin Mary caring for her son, Jesus Christ.
It dates from the 15th century and is attributed to the painter Angelos Akotantou from Crete.
The aging technique is meticulously applied to the Icon by hand and gives it the look of time while the depiction retains its artistic details.
Around the perimeter, the aging becomes more apparent with frayed edges that give the Icon a distinctive appearance.
During the final processing, the Aged-Wooden Icon of Panagia Kardiotissa is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.
Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
