The revetment was made to fit the icon. It is very similar to that of the Mother of God with Christ from the church of the Mother of God Peribleptos. The ornamentation of the halo incorporates four medallions with the personification of the evangelists. On the frame there are six figures, of which the upper two are Jesus Christ, giving a gospel to St. Nicholas, and the Mother of God with an mophorion in her hands. The other four are prophets. Conservation: Conserved in the laboratory of IPCM - Skopje.
