Carved Icons in Cyprus

Carved icons are hand-worked wooden religious panels, often produced with traditional tools and finished with wax, varnish or gilding. Buyers may find different sizes, woods, depths of relief and levels of detail, from simple wall pieces to more elaborate compositions. Useful questions include the type of wood, whether the carving is done by hand or partly by machine, how the surface is protected, and whether hanging fittings are included. For gifts or church use, it also helps to confirm delivery packaging, expected production time and any option for custom subjects or inscriptions.
