The Moscovite koukoulion has evolved through time and the standard "design" today is with seraphim on the forehad and on the two lapels of the veil left and right as worn by the Patriarch today.
The white Muscovite koukoulion has three golden embroidered seraphim on front and flaps, and a cross on the top. His white color stands for purity of thoughts and the enlightment by the devine light.
The black Georgian koukoulion has two Seraphims on the flaps, and a cross not on the top, but on the front side of the headgear.
