Fringes appear to a certain extent on Greek clothing: on the ‘Warrior Vase’ from Mycenae, Greece, c. 1200 BCE (LH IIIC, Fig. 3), soldiers march with fringed tunics. 11 But usually in the Greek world fringes were an exotic occurrence. Dandified young men in the late 5th century ‘laconised’ or used appearance to imitate the Spartans by sporting short, fringed cloaks made of rough cloth, long hair, beards and dirty hands. 12 And some luxurious items of Persian clothing, adopted by Athenians in the 5th century BCE for reasons of status, also had fringes: the long-sleeved chiton or chitoniskos cheirodotos, for example, the shape itself non-Greek, was sometimes finished off with fringe. 13 The ependytes was another Persian import, a shorter, sleeved, coat-like garment, worn by women and parthenoi (virgin girls) during some ritual activities, often embellished with fringe. 14 According to the gospel accounts, when Jesus was brought before the high priest and accused of blasphemy, the high priest tore his robe in a show of righteous indignation. This tearing was symbolic of the high priest’s rejection of Jesus as the Son of God, and his disbelief in Jesus’ teachings and miracles. The use of cloaks as a symbol of authority is prevalent throughout the Old Testament. In ancient times, a cloak was a sign of status and power and was often worn by kings, priests, and other high-ranking officials. It was also a symbol of protection, warmth, and comfort, as well as a means of identification.

At the same time, Irish mantles were long, about ankle-length. They were semi-circular in shape, had no sleeves and fasteners. They resembled large blankets wrapped around the shoulders. See Whitmore (2017, 59) on fascina: ‘since visibility is relevant to the amulet’s function, the constant motion of these pendants … darting in and out of clothing folds, would capture the attention of those already staring, successfully averting the evil eye’. In addition to Jesus’ cloak, there are several other examples of cloaks with symbolic significance in the Bible. For example, Jacob’s coat of many colors, as described in the book of Genesis, was a symbol of favor and blessing bestowed upon him by his father, Isaac. Similarly, Samuel’s mantle was a symbol of prophecy and authority, given to him by God to signify his position as a prophet and leader of Israel.The fragments of the piece were sent to the National Museum of Ireland. Analysis later indicated the garment was made of a rough wool twill believed to be brown in colour. One example of the significance of the cloak can be seen in the New Testament. In the book of Matthew, it is said that Jesus’ cloak became a point of contention among his followers. In chapter 9 verse 20-22, it is told that a woman who had been suffering from bleeding for twelve years believed that simply touching Jesus’ cloak would cure her ailment. When she did so, she was instantly healed. This caused a stir among the crowd, and Jesus was asked who had touched his cloak.

Similarly, in 1 Samuel 24 (mentioned earlier), David cuts off a piece of Saul’s cloak as proof that he spared Saul’s life. This served as a warning to Saul that David had the power to kill him if he wanted to, but chose not to. It was a way for David to assert his authority and gain the respect of his fellow soldiers.

They were considerably shorter, circular in shape, usually had a collar (stand-up collars were popular). And also, they were more ornate on the outside. Overall, the cloak or mantle represents the power and authority of God, and it is through faith in Him that healing and miracles can take place. The cloak symbolizes how we, as believers, can channel the divine power of God into our lives and the lives of others. Overall, the cloak holds great significance in the Bible beyond its practical use as clothing. It is a symbol of status, authority, blessing, faith, and spiritual power, and it remains an enduring symbol in Christian iconography today.

A number of points are worth noting at this stage: the ricinium is not described as fringed in the literature; the ricinium is not associated with formal religious ritual (such as sacrifices or worship); and in the literary sources it is portrayed as a female garment. In addition, the garment which is described as fringed and is associated with ritual in the literary sources is the smaller rica, also a strictly female garment. Although Festus does indeed state ‘the rica is a little ricinium’, modern authors are wrong to assume from this that both mantles were fringed: ancient literature names no mantle as fringed except the (small) rica.Makhlaiuk, A.V.
