Hvostan Epitaphios (Burial Shroud) Artifact The Hvostan epitaphios (burial shroud) is called after the Monastery of the Mother of God in Hvosno, 20km to the North-East of the Patriarchate of Peć. Unlike any other medieval epitaphios made with the embroidery technique, this epitaphios was made by using painter's colors. It is considered to be the work of Byzantine masters and dates back to the 14th century. During Ottoman times the shroud was hidden beneath the ruins of the Church of the Mother of God in Hvosno and was discovered in the 20th century. Today it is kept in the treasury of the Patriarchate of Peć.
