The glowing halo and the background on the canvas are adorned with large amber fragments. The prominent details of the image are decorated with amber chips. Finer elements are accentuated with glittering shine and marble chips.

The amber icon of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker is intended as a gift for men bearing this name, as well as for boys born and baptized on May 22.
