POPE PASCHAL II

POPE PASCHAL II AND HENRY II – MANUSCRIPT 373 LATE XI CENTURY – CAMBRIDGE

The pontifical apparel corresponds to the descriptions found in documents of the time.

Take special note of the snow-white rounded Phrygian, the wide casual and the sacred pallium embellished with crosses which drapes over the shoulders, the silken Dalmatian with wide sleeves and the linen tunic.

Henry II is also depicted realistically wearing a mantel embellished with gold around the hem and open on the front, a wide-sleeved surcoat and a tunic with narrow sleeves, closed footwear, on his head a closed crown.
