MOSAIC RESTORED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 1800S ALONG TRACES OF THE 6TH CENTURY ORIGINAL– BASILICA DI SANT’AMBROGIO, MILAN

 

The 6th century, masculine clothing is tightly tied to the late-Roman tradition.

The figure on the left has a cape resembling the draping of the pallium.

The other gathers the cloak to the right shoulder.

The tunics are ornately decorated with jewelled ribbons of gold; from the moderately wide sleeve appears the tight cuff of the inner tunic, tight trousers, and closed-toed shoes.
