• Solid Wooden Panel: Carefully mounted on a durable solid wood block to ensure structural longevity, weighted balance, and a substantial, luxury feel.
• Microscopic Detail & Vibrant Red Border: The shimmering gilded background highlights the intricate architectural backdrop of Jerusalem, the detailed red funeral drapery, the luminous mandorla of Christ, and the sorrowful yet hopeful countenances of the Apostles, beautifully framed by a bold red border and inner gold trim.
