EMBROIDERY

H 715mm / W 400mm

Embroidery representing Saint Nicholas between Christ and the Mother of God, who give him the Stole, the Gospel and the insignia of the episcopate, which are repeated on his liturgical vestment.
Under the embroidered chasuble, St Nicholas wears the omophore decorated with crosses, crossed over his chest, and the epigonation (konker in Armenian), a diamond-shaped suspended pouch. This is usually a distinctive sign of the Catholicos. He keeps his handkerchief in it.
