14th Century: Sudarium with Spangles

Posted on September 7, 2018 by Jen Segrest

I am seeking more info on this piece, I am guessing it to be 13-14th century.

Unlike Bezants (brakteats) which are like one sided stamped coins with intricate designs, spangles are usually plain and are hung from holes and sparkle.
