Chasuble

French

Not on view

A rich and well-preserved palette of peach, blue, magenta and green foliage, spilling from silver cornucopias, elevates this relatively modest textile– standard, machine-woven as it is. Given its lack of any Christian symbolism, it was not particularly well-suited for use to tailor as a priest's tabard-like chasuble. However, the effect is undeniably attractive, and would have seemed even more so paired with the other, since lost matching items in the vestment set.
