Traditional Metal Relief and Construction

Crafted in Greece in accordance with historic ecclesiastical metalworking customs:

• Embossed Boy Figure Motif: Features a high-relief pressed metal figure of a young boy, set against an embossed textured background that catches indoor lighting and candlelight.
• Byzantine Scrollwork Border: Framed by clean rectangular borders and ornamental corner flourishes rooted in traditional ecclesiastical metalcraft.
• Integrated Top Suspension Hole: Features a pre-punched hole at the top center, allowing customized mounting with fine metal wire, cord, or satin ribbon without damaging the metal plate.
• Lightweight Stamped Metal Alloy: Engineered with an ultra-thin, lightweight profile measuring 12.0 x 4.5 cm (4.72 x 1.77 in), allowing it to hang freely from icon frames or hooks without causing mechanical stress.
