Beautiful cross. The wood backing is nice and thick, and is painted red, matching my other icons. The colors are not a saturated as in the picture here, but the detail in the printed image is excellent.
FYI this cross design was painted by the Florentine painter, Giovanni Cimabue, and is dated to 1267-71. But the influences here are clearly Byzantine. For example: the arms are relaxed, indicating that Christ is supporting the cross, instead of the typical Latin style where the arms are stretched taut.
Excellent cross with great detail on the image and a beautiful design. I would highly recommend it.
