Summary/Abstract: The present paper analyzes a Holy Table cover from the patrimony of Putna Monastery. The item is thought to have been made of pieces of princely vestments from the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th. It is made of 65 fragments of different dimensions and three types of Italian brocades. The authors argue that at least some of the fragments of textile come from an older Holy Table cover, probably from the time of Stephen the Great. Two hypotheses are proposed for the moment of reshaping to its present form: either the consecration of the altar (1655) officiated after the monastery church was rebuilt during the reigns of Vasile Lupu and Gheorghe Ștefan, or sometime during the thorough renovation works made by Metropolitan Jacob of Putna (1755–1772).
