Pair of epimanika with the Annunciation

St. Catherine's Monastery At God-trodden Mount Sinai

Each of the two figures of the Annunciation scene is portrayed standing under an arch. The two arches are flanked by flower vases (planters) with decorative plants covering the rest of the vestment. The scenes are embroidered on red silk fabric. The typology of the arches and flower vases, the cross over the angel halo, and the arch rendered with stiches instead of stones, are all characteristic details of the Sinopi workshop in the seventeenth century.
