Monastery of Cetinje, Epitrachelion of Saint Sava | Artifact | The epitrachelion of Saint Sava (ca. 1175-1236) is kept in the Treasury of the Monastery of Cetinje (Cetinjski manastir). It is dated to 1660 and is made of red silk, decorated with gold embroidery. The image of Christ Pantocrator is depicted in a medallion on top of the epitrachelion, while a decorative band is applied below, with stylised and decorative flowers. Lower, in a stylised vault with a Saracenic arch, are representations of the Annunciation, the Saint Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, with a spindle in her hand. Below this composition (in the same frames), the figures of ten Holy Fathers are arranged. At the ends of the epitrachelion is a decorative motif of an eight-sided rosette with a flower in the middle. In one of the medallions is an image of a double-headed eagle. |
