Cosmas Indicopleustes Framed Canvas: Tabernacle of the Cosmos

from $65.40
The world takes the form of a sanctuary. Beneath the vaulted heavens, the inhabited earth lies within the encircling ocean; beyond its waters, Paradise stands in the east. This original Etherfolk interpretation draws upon the universe described by Cosmas Indicopleustes in his sixth-century Christian Topography. The firmament divides the earthly realm from the upper chamber, gathering creation into the architectural pattern of the Tabernacle. Byzantine-inspired manuscript drawing, indigo skies, ochre-gold fields, and a botanical border give the cosmogram its ordered form. Printed on textured canvas within a wooden frame, the work brings historical cosmology into a home library, theological study, or contemplative interior. PRODUCT DETAILS • Printed on textured cotton-polyester canvas, 300–350 gsm • Stretched over FSC-certified wooden stretcher bars • Wooden frame in Black, Natural Wood, or Dark Brown • Frame made from FSC-certified or locally sourced poplar or pine • Floating presentation with approximately 12 mm between canvas and frame • Frame face: 9–14 mm wide • Frame depth: 42 mm in North America; 32 mm in Europe • Hanging kit included; fittings vary by country The firmament divides the chambers of creation.
