Byzantine embroidery was also prized in Western Europe as shown by the so-called Dalmatic of Charlemagne purported to be commissioned or given as a diplomatic gift for Charlemagne’s coronation in 800. The work, now stored in the Vatican treasury, is actually a patriarch’s sakkos (tunic) that Constantinopolitan artists created in the 14th century. On the front of this fabulous garment, Christ Enthroned is embroidered in silk and gold threads.
Второй сакос из Московского кремля, тоже византийский XIV века, но несет на себе следы поновлений и доделок. По ссылке можно прочитать его подробнейшее описание. Большое спасибо renardetraisin
