Colobium

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christ dressed in a colobium. Depiction on an object from the Sancta Sanctorum chapel in Rome.

Colobium (Latin, Greek κολόβιον ) describes a sleeveless or short-sleeved long tunic of late antique clothing.

In early Christian representations, the crucified Jesus often wears such a garment.
