ТК-1590 http://www.cidoc-crm.org/crm-core/E22_Man-Made_Object Man-Made Object Church vestments and religious textiles Epigonation Харківський історичний музей імені М. Ф. Сумцова M. F. Sumtsov Kharkiv Historical Museum ТК-1590 Made of white satin, in the form of a rhombus-shaped square cloth. The field of the epigonation is embroidered around its perimeter with a winding floral pattern, and at the center with an embroidered equal-armed cross with lily-shaped ends and radiance (the embroidery worked in gold metal thread and sequins). The edges of the epigonation are trimmed with a fringe of golden thread; tassels of golden thread on a wooden core are sewn to three of the corners (one tassel is lost). Note: the epigonation (palytsia) is part of the full liturgical vestments of a bishop, archimandrite, or protopresbyter, as well as of a priest awarded it as an honor. Symbolically, the epigonation carries the same meaning as the spiritual sword — that is, the Word of God — with which a shepherd must always be "armed." Compared to the nabedrennik, however, the epigonation belongs to a higher rank, since it also symbolizes the end of the towel with which Jesus Christ wiped his disciples' feet. In church tradition, the color white symbolizes the uncreated Divine Light, purity, and spiritual renewal. The white epigonation, like the full set of vestments, is worn on the Feasts of the Lord: Pascha, the Nativity of Christ, and Theophany (Epiphany). 39 × 37 cm height cm 39 width cm 37 Production Невідомо Unknown 19th century 1800 1900 silk fabric metallic threads metal sequins metallic braid wood cotton fabric machine weaving hand sewing hand embroidery ТК-1590 item Слобожанський код.
