Marshal Oshin Gospel Book (1274)

"Archbishop John, the youngest half-brother of King Hetum I, appears as an old man ordaining a deacon in this Gospel Book made for his own use. The hem of his tunic displays an ornate Central Asian Chinese dragon motif from Mongol-controlled lands. The dragon and the fleur-de-lis on his earlier portrait in the Marshal Oshin Gospel Book exemplify Cilicia’s role as a major conduit of trade between the East and West under the Pax Mongolica."
