Ecclesiastical Embroidery (Epigonation)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Ecclesiastical Embroidery (Epigonation) features a square piece of fabric with a blue border and a beige background. The border has a decorative pattern. The center of the fabric depicts a scene with multiple figures, mostly men with beards and robes in various colors, including red, green, blue and brown. The figures are arranged around a central figure who stands under an archway. The central figure wears a long, blue and red robe. Some figures hold objects such as a jug or vase. The fabric appears to be made of a thick material and has a textured appearance. The background of the image is light gray. The fabric is positioned diagonally.
