Quote:It may also be that the very uniqueness of the cloth and its image, which seems so clearly not to fall into any particular research category, is the reason for it being sidelined from academic study. It may be an altar-cloth, liturgical vestment, table cloth, theatrical prop or even a shroud, but as it does not resemble any such things that we know of, specialist scholars may say, “Well, it doesn’t look like one of mine,” and leave it unexamined. I would like them to reconsider. A unique object should not be neglected on that basis alone, but considered carefully as a possible ‘outlier’ to some more recognised artistic tradition.
