Byzantine Shrine

For those who love religious iconography here is a shrine made by Tatjana using a range of Byzantine cards, marblelized rubons, mica flakes, gold and silver leaf, and several coatings of antique French varnish. I don't know why this is categorised under transformational art; I think because it's a folder as has become a shrine.



A closer look





Here is a look inside the shrine with plenty of angels, saints, and Mary and Jesus.




The back panel of the shrine.









And have a look at the finer detail, it includes painting of tiny red, blue and white spots.
