• High Relief Metal Base: The central part is crafted from an alloy that allows for deep and precise carving, giving the image of Saint Nicholas a distinct three-dimensionality.
   

• Silver Coating (925): The entire surface of the relief is covered with a thick silver deposit, providing the icon with a cold metallic touch and the authentic radiance of precious metal.
   

• Rich 24k Gold Plating: The halo, mitre, and the cross on the Gospel are hand-accentuated with pure gold, symbolizing celestial light and spiritual wealth.
   

• Anti-oxidation Protection: The metalwork is hermetically protected by a transparent lacquer, preventing silver oxidation and preserving its appearance for decades without tarnishing.

Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra, faithfully interprets the victory of Christian truth over injustice. His feat faithfully interprets the defense of Orthodoxy at the First Ecumenical Council and the fearless struggle for the poor and the unjustly condemned. Historically, he is a saint who bridges East and West, and among Serbs, he faithfully interprets the very core of identity as the most common Slava patron. Saint Nicholas faithfully interprets the hope that through mercy every evil is defeated, serving as an eternal mark of salvation and a protector who never sleeps over the home that celebrates him.
