Handmade Gesso Wooden Cross 42.5×25cm (16.7 × 9.8 inches)Icon Painting Panel with the Ark

Size: 42.5×25cm (16.7 × 9.8 inches)
Handcrafted wooden cross is made from solid linden wood
In keeping with time-honored icon painting traditions, the surface is first prepared by applying a layer of gauze fixed with gelatin-based adhesive. Several layers of classic Levkas gesso — a smooth mixture of natural chalk and gelatin glue — are then carefully applied, creating an ideal, perfectly smooth surface ready for tempera and oil painting.
The cross is meticulously sanded to ensure flawless smoothness.
Kindly note: the photographed item has not yet been varnished. Each cross will be finished with 2–3 coats of protective varnish as part of our complimentary finishing service, ensuring both protection and a refined appearance.
