Several pieces of embroidery in the monastery treasury can
be dated to the last decades of the 14th and first decades of the 15th century. It is
impossible to establish a direct connection between any icon or work of embroidery from
the Lazarevich period and any individual member of the family, but such a connection
cannot be discounted either.
