Fragment of Chasuble 15th century This silk textile fragment once functioned as the back of a chasuble, as is indicated by the shape of the piece. The textile is ornamented with pairs of confronting coroneted lions on either side of a stylized tree. The lions have been compared to a Granadine textile bearing Nasrid heraldic emblems and rampant lions, which possibly served as the model. Variants of this pattern, depicting slightly different plant forms or animals suggest that these textiles were mass-produced.
