Velum ormiańskie ze zbiorów Muzeum Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego

Catalogue summary

Inscription, embroidery, and iconographic details connect a nineteenth-century Armenian chalice veil in Kraków to donors near Moush and the monastery of Saint John the Baptist. Its later path through Wrocław, Etchmiadzin, and Moscow illuminates how sacred objects were dispersed after the monastery’s 1915 destruction.

Why this matters

The veil joins object-based dating with church pilgrimage, genocide-era loss, and the afterlife of Armenian heritage in European museum collections.
