Antique Orthodox Liturgical Chalice Veil Gold Silver Embroidery Velvet Christian
This beautiful antique liturgical veil (Pokrovets) is an authentic handmade church textile used in Orthodox Christian worship. Crafted from rich velvet and decorated with intricate gold and silver metal thread embroidery, this sacred covering was traditionally used during the Divine Liturgy to cover holy vessels, including the chalice (Holy Cup).
The design features a symbolic cross-shaped form with elaborate floral and ornamental embroidery, finished with decorative metallic fringe along the edges. At the center is a raised embroidered cross element, richly textured and visually striking.
Spiritual Meaning
