675—Needlepainted Velvet Chasuble
Italian, Early Fifteenth Century
Blue velvet with a brilliant sheen, adorned with unusual orphreys on
the front, a line of Gothic lettering, as well as trees and flowers. The
great Cross on the back is decorated with nearly a score of figures,
all in biblical scenes: “The Annunciation,” “The Birth of Our Lord,”
and the “Death of the Virgin.” The embroidery is in silks and gold.
The figures are remarkably well preserved, especially in their expressions.

From the Georges Seligmann Collection, Paris.
