there and write the icon, which we call "Athos". Icons were painted on cypress "mixed" technique, tempera and bleached oil, with inter-treatment.
Canvas medium sized, thin soil, background with gold leaf, cutting clothes melted gold.
Small icons for pilgrims - are usually stamped "blessing".
Icons of the same large-temple written in order for the "Big Land"-the more
Athos origin indicated on the front side.

redbor, you write everything correctly, but I have met (not once) as icons do not have gold background but with the seal of Mount Athos, as there were no printing but with the text on the facade, as on cypress gold background but without printing the back and the text on the facade, and the text on the front and rear seal but not on the cypress board

strange combination - the house painter from Mount Athos and the local board. A dye whose?
Logical - a local house painter, on the local board. Just to clarify the area ..

Nothing strange. It can be assumed that the local house painter and the board is written in Athos tradition-ca. The people have migrated here went there and the icon painter could come from Athos to his home and there to write the icon, this version you want. In any case, the icons were painted in the so-called Athonite style of writing, for me personally it Athos.

Athos is not Greek.
Mount Athos in Greece - is yes. Athos - in fact a sovereign Republic in Greece.

Territorial physically Athos think very even Greek. The special status of the Holy Mountain is enshrined in Article 105 into the Constitution of Greece. The Greek State on Mount Athos represents the Governor, being subordinated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece. If it has a small administrative staff and police. His main responsibility - to monitor compliance with civil law.
