Description Wood Carved Icon of Christ Pantocrator A wood-carved icon depicting Christ Pantocrator, an exceptional example of the monks’ skill in woodcraft. The term “Pantocrator” means “Almighty” or “Ruler of All,” referring to one who holds all power and authority. The image of the Pantocrator Jesus is traditionally painted in the central dome (the “troulus”) of Byzantine churches. In churches that lack a dome, such as those built in the basilica style, the image is painted at the center of the ceiling. This depiction of Christ is one of the most iconic themes in Byzantine and post-Byzantine art. Wood Carved Icon: Features This particular wood-carved icon belongs to a special category of images – works of art renowned for their intricate detail in the depiction of saints. It is a unique artwork created using the “pressing” technique, and the material used is lime wood. The artwork is crafted with respect to the Orthodox Christian Tradition. After the initial processing and sanding of the wood, it is painted with eco-friendly colors, followed by a pest control process to preserve the wood in excellent condition, ensuring that it remains intact for more than 100 years. ** The icon is available in three sizes upon request.
