Moldavian Portrait Textiles
Ernst Diez
IN the summer of 1925 there was an exhibition in Paris old paraments from monasteries Roumania. Most examples were liturgical—epitaphs, eucharistic covers, epitrachelia (stoles), epigonatia, and like. Some grave decorated with portraits buried princes princesses Moldavia. These needle-work are little known history art, for almost nothing has been written about them, though some have mentioned literature.
