SAINTS AGNES AND PUDENTIANA – MOSAIC DATED BETWEEN 817 AND 824 – CHURCH OF SAINT PRAXEDIS, ROME

Feminine apparel in ninth-century Rome conserves its Byzantine characteristics.

A smooth ribbon hairstyle with a light coronet, gold earrings, an oblique dalmatica with a collar (maniakion) and circular embroideries (orbiculi), a high belt, tunic with moderately wide sleeves, with an embroidered scarf (patagium), purple shoes, and a pallium linostinum on the hands to avoid direct contact with the sacred implements.
