Beautiful
We have a large version of this icon hanging up at Church. A friend of mine mentioned he was purchasing this icon in a large size to put at the bottom of his stairwell at his house. I thought that was a great idea! I've put it in a similar area in my house and it looks wonderful! The quality is excellent! I couldn't have asked for a better reproduction!

A great value!
I was very pleased with the icon, "The Ladder of Divine Ascent! I ordered one with the wax covering. I think the wax covering gives it a nice look, as well as protect it from drying out.
