A mounted icon is a photograph of an icon which is laminated, glued onto birch fibercore wood, trimmed with three edges on each side, and with the board painted and varnished to match the color on the edge of the icon.

An unmounted icon is simply a laminated photograph of an icon. It is a common practice to frame an unmounted icon, or to use them as a guide in one's own personal iconography.
