Epitaph of Gllavenica

The shroud is made of silk, linen and gold, and symbolizes the burial cloth of Jesus, used in Orthodox Good Friday's processions.

[1] Technically, stylistically and in the decorative motifs, it is one of the most perfect artifacts of this genre in the Balkans.

The Epitaph represents the dead Christ lying on a linen, Saint Mary, John, other Four Evangelists, prophets and angels with spread wings.

[2] In 1994, the shroud was stolen from the National Historical Museum of Albania in Tirana.

[3][dubious – discuss] In 2005 an international symposium assessed that the shroud should be restored for the amount of 25-50k Euros because it risks to be irreparably deteriorated and damaged from the lights of the Albanian National Museum.
