A detailed, low-light photograph capturing a corner of the intricate, gilded iconostasis in the Byzantine Monastery of Peribleptos, Mystras, Greece. In the foreground is a prominent, large, ornate brass standing candelabrum. Behind it, the richly carved wooden iconostasis houses multiple gold-leaf icons. To the right, a heavily gilded and silver-framed icon is visible through a dark archway, and a massive collection of hung silver and metal ex-votos (tamata), like tiny medallions and plaques, is draped below it, signifying a popular place of prayer. The overall atmosphere is dark, historic, and mystical.
