This special St. Nicholas icon was created using traditional methods, using special wooden boards, carefully selected to ensure durability and outstanding quality. These boards are carefully primed and treated so that the resulting icon is strong and stands the test of time. Special iconographic techniques are used to achieve the best appearance of this icon. I cannot tell you the approximate period when this icon was made. And neither the country of origin. Please look at the pictures, what you see in the pictures is what you get! Good luck !!
