Description:
A donor is depicted with his family in an icon of St John Prodromos, dated 1794, in the Church of St John Prodromos, in Dromolaxia. The donor himself wears a long red coat lined with fur and closed with a button(?) at the base of the neck; also, a red skullcap covered with black fur (apparently a kalpak) and a striped turban wound around its base. The lady’s heavy overcoat, made of patterned brocade and lined with ermine fur, is open in front to expose a colourful anterín with a buckled belt at the waist. The deep décolletage is covered with the white shirt. Her headdress is a tall pointed cap (tarpuş/serpuş) with a veil draped over it. The attires of the four children, two male and two females, resemble those of their parents, respectively. The boy wears a red skullcap. Bright scarlet coloured fabrics are sharply contrasted with black and gold yellow patterned ones
