Icon Board Set 27x31 cm with Handmade Copper Oklad for Mother of God – Silver Tone Icon Painting Set 10.6x12.2 in

Icon Board & Handmade Oklad Set for Mother of God Icon
A professional icon painting set created for iconographers who want to combine a traditionally prepared wooden icon board with an exceptional handmade metal oklad.

The design is intended for an icon of the Mother of God with the Christ Child and features a striking radiating halo composition around both figures.

This listing can be ordered in two configurations:

Oklad Only
or
Oklad + Icon Board

SIZE
27 × 31 cm
10.6 × 12.2 inches

Because each metal oklad is individually handmade, slight variations of a few millimeters are possible. This is a natural characteristic of traditional handmade production.

OPTION 1 – OKLAD ONLY
Includes the complete handmade metal oklad shown in the photographs.

The oklad is made from copper using the galvanoplastic technique and carefully hand-finished.

Features:

detailed relief work

silver-tone decorative finish

antique / aged appearance

large radiating halo for the Mother of God

separate radiating halo for the Christ Child

protective lacquer coating

The base material is copper.

This item is not made from solid silver.

This option is ideal for iconographers who already have their own icon board.

OPTION 2 – OKLAD + ICON BOARD
Includes the handmade oklad together with a professionally prepared matching icon board.

The board is made from:

solid linden wood

oak splines

traditional kovcheg

pavoloka

classical natural levkas

chalk and animal-origin glue

The surface is professionally prepared and ready for traditional icon painting.

MADE FOR ICONOGRAPHERS
This set gives the artist a prepared foundation for creating an individual sacred artwork while significantly reducing the amount of preliminary preparation required.

It is suitable for:

professional iconographers

icon painting students

iconography schools

sacred art studios

church workshops

monasteries

commissioned church icons

collectors of traditional Christian art

gifts for an iconographer or priest

The exposed areas for the faces and other painted elements remain completely open for the iconographer's own artistic work.

ARTISTIC CUSTOMIZATION
Although the metal oklad is already a finished decorative element, the artist can further personalize it.

Possible artistic additions include:

genuine gold leaf

additional silver or gold accents

cold enamel

gemstones

patina

hand-painted decorative details

This makes it possible to create a truly unique authorial icon in which traditional metalwork is combined with the individual style of the iconographer.

HANDMADE CHARACTER
Each oklad is individually produced and finished by hand.

Minor differences in polishing, patina, relief and dimensions are natural and give every piece its own individual character.
