Gold and pastel colors: blue, green, yellow, red, pink. 17th–18th century, Poland. Liturgical vestment. Length 133.5 cm; width 72 cm., A large, roughly rectangular textile or paper sheet with a V-shaped cut at the top, hanging against a pale gray background; the surface is textured and uneven with visible creases and a worn appearance, showing an overall pale beige or off-white color with subtle washes of light yellow and faint pinkish or tan markings; the edges are irregular and slightly frayed, and a small square patch of slightly different texture is visible toward the lower right area.
