CRUCIFICTION – MISSAL OF THE BLESSED WARMUNDIO – DATED 969-1002 – CAPITOLARE LIBRARY, IVREA
Tenth century apparel is imbued with a certain simplicity.
The soldiers on either side of the cross wear short tunics tied at the waist, tight breeches, closed footwear.
The Madonna is cloaked and wears a wide tunic reaching to her feet; the clergyman has a white sacred pallium decorated with crosses which stand out above the planet.
The blessed on the right is instead clothed in a tunic and mantle draped like a roman pallium.
