This icon has been framed in an antique fluted cove frame, which has been cut down to fit. The back of the frame is extended to accommodate the depth of the icon, the Artglass anti-relective glazing, 5mm spacer, and Correx backing. The new back extension to the frame is painted and finished in gilt cream to match the existing colour, it is fixed to the frame with screws. The job is completed with an antique brass ring hanger at the top.
