The paper shows how vestments and paraments of the altar could be functionalized in order to crack the frame of common social patterns and margins by deviating from iconographical norms and standards and modifying those openly or subversively. This aesthetic strategy will be discussed with a focus on a textile ensemble from the 13th century: the Göss Vestments (Gösser Or-nat, Museum for Applied Arts, Vienna).
