- Gradually the dalmatica develops pointed sleeves. This is a good example of the heavily jeweled, allover geometric patterns which are typical of the court.
- Abstract:
- Byzantine dress is distinctive for its richness, color, and decoration. The basic garments are the paludamentum, the dalmatica, the palla, and the tunica intima. They are enhanced by brilliant samites, uncut stones, and pearls. Collars, borders, and crowns are decorated in overall patterns. Colorful silks are enriched with gold and intensified by strongly contrasting whites and blacks. Shoes are soft and red.
