Iconostasis of Chimeevo church, manufactured on the boundary of XIX-XX centuries., is decorated with an original wooden carving, which is covered with gold, and then with the finest sheets of tinsel.

The uniqueness of iconostasis is in the fact, that each centimeter of the golden surface is polished with the wolf tusk. The polished gold gives nature of solidity and richness to the great number of columns and parts.
