I am not sure whether you are referring to a particular Ukrainian work, but should be the translation of this word into English.

Example:
Головним акцентом в інтер\'єрі є іконостас. Це триярусна монументальна споруда з м\'якими криволінійними обрисами. На пурпурному тлі вирізняються позолочені пілястри, карнизи й багаті різьблені обрамлення ікон, що мають різноманітні розміри й складні контури. Поверхню царських врат покрито суцільним мереживом різьблення. У декор введено скульптуру — голівки херувимів, постаті ангелів, трифігурну групу ..Розп\'яття\", що завершує іконостас.

Same paragraph translated into English:
The iconostasis is central to the interior decor of the church. This three-tiered structure is characterized by soft, curved outlines. The gilt pilasters, cornices and ornate icon frames of carved wood contrast marvellously to the purple background of the iconostasis featuring icons of various shapes and dimensions. The Royal Gates are covered with carved wooden lattice-work. The decor of the iconostasis incorporates pieces of statuary: heads of cherubs and Figures of angels; The Crucifixion sculptural group crowns the iconostasis.

icon screen; also iconostasis, iconostasion, diastyle
all are synonyms; diastyle is an old and beautiful word, hardly used these days; icon screen is the only self-explanatory one for an English-speaking reader (the rest are Greek)
