Each figure is adorned in ancient attire that reflects the fashion and clothing style prevalent during that period. The mosaic itself is a testament to the artistic brilliance of late medieval Europe. Its intricate details capture every fold in their garments, while delicate aureolas symbolize their saintly status.
