Cope Fragment
Not on view
This fragment of dark blue silk velvet from a cope (a garment used in liturgical services for processions, especially by those assisting the celebrant) is patterned in an allover repeat of a seven-lobed shape in a half-patterned step repeat. The lobed shaped are symmetrically placed and filled with stylized pomegranate-like plants each sprouting seven blossoms; they are sumounted by smaller plant devices and blossoms on branches that follow the outlines of the lobed shapes.
