Seraphim and Crosses: Ultra-Soft Premium Cotton T-Shirt

$26.99

On this 17th-century Ottoman silk, crosses, seraphim faces, and Greek religious abbreviations sit side by side within the same repeating pattern. The letters in the design are arranged in reverse. Read normally, the phrase Ιϩ Χϩ ΝΙΚΑ is a Greek abbreviation meaning 'Jesus Christ conquers.'

This piece is in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's made of silk; the technique is a lampas weave featuring a twill pattern on a satin ground. It measures 109.2 × 57.2 cm.

This fabric is likely a fragment of a phelonion. A phelonion is a voluminous outer vestment worn by priests during liturgy in the Eastern Christian tradition.

After 1453, imperial weaving workshops in Ottoman Constantinople and Bursa kept producing silks with Christian iconography; these textiles reached as far as Moscow. It's known that in 1634, Russian envoys transported a similar Ottoman silk from the same pattern family - woven with metal-wrapped threads - from Constantinople to Moscow.
