Cosmas Indicopleustes Poster, Tabernacle of the Cosmos, Christian Topography

from $20.00
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. A work for a home library, theological study, or collection devoted to historical cosmology and sacred geography.
