Chasuble, 1700s. Italy, 18th century. Embroidery; silk and metallic threads; overall: 114.6 x 70.5 cm (45 1/8 x 27 3/4 in.). A beautiful design emanates from a vase in the center of this chasuble, displaying symmetrical flora that extend across embroidered gold braids into graceful curvilinear cartouches, reflecting contemporary architectural decoration. Also in the center, sheaves of wheat and grapes represent the bread and wine of the Mass. Gold sequins within thread-outlined squares illustrate fine quality workmanship.
