The edges of the pallettes are trimmed with the same lace. 18th century, Poland; liturgical vestment; length 205 cm, width 18 9 cm., An off-white fabric sash with floral embroidery lies diagonally across a light gray background, forming a gentle V shape; the sash has a pair of wider, trapezoidal end panels edged with decorative trim and the body shows a repeating pattern of embroidered flowers and leaves in pink, red, green, and gold tones against a cream base.
