Abstract

This article presents certain examples of woodcarving (a pair of bema doors, seven icon-stands (proskynetaria), an altar-table baldachin, a door) in the katholikon of the Zographou monastery on Mt Athos. These items were produced in the period spanning from the last decades of the seventeenth to the early decades of the nineteenth century. The stylistic traits of the works are analysed and the network of the monastery’s relations with the birthplace of their donors is investigated.
