Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 披掛於祭壇前端的短幔,常具刺繡裝飾,以搭配祭壇的正面帷簾。至於懸掛於祭壇上方或後方,有宗教圖像的大型短掛布,則稱為「祭壇畫(altarpieces)」。 |
Dutch ..... Op valletjes gelijkende behangsels aan de voorkant van altaren, vaak met borduurwerk passend bij het frontaal. |
Spanish ..... Colgaduras parecidas a cenefas en el borde de la parte delantera del altar, a menudo bordadas para combinar con el frontis del altar. Para sobrefrontales grandes que cuelgan arriba o detrás de un altar y que contienen imágenes religiosas, use "retablo”. |
