Deisis (from Greek. δέησις — prayer; there is also a not quite correct Russian form of pronunciation – "Deisus") – the icon of the Mother of God turned to Jesus Christ, and on the right – the image of John the Baptist, presented in the traditional gesture of prayer, intercession.

The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with soil by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.
