Chasuble front

Unknown

18th century · Silk · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

Worked in luridly synthetic dyes, this chasuble (14.102.480, .481) has been composed out of reclaimed patches of another textile of mediocre quality needle work, perhaps a bed coverlet, combined with patches of a low-quality, machine-woven silk.
