Back of a chasuble. Fragment of red amaranth satin fabric, embroidered; originally probably intended for the back of the chasuble, as suggested by the shape. Embroidery pattern imitates wide lace with a floral ornament distributed in two semicircular and one meandering stripe. Between the lace stripes are tall, curved branches with bird cherry flowers. Embroidery in silk yarn using split, satin, laid stitch, cord, and knots. 18th century, possibly Poland/ Germany/ France. Liturgical vestment. Width 50 cm; overall length 100 cm, width 65 cm., A rectangular piece of fabric with rounded bottom corners lies flat against a pale background, showing a dominant dusty rose color with a delicate overlay of pale cream lace-like embroidery forming ornate floral and scroll patterns across most of the surface; there are accents of light green embroidery in floral motifs scattered throughout, and narrow vertical stripes in darker green and a deeper pink run near the sides; the top edge appears slightly frayed with a small triangular folded section revealing a brighter pink underside, and the fabric shows subtle creases and a few areas of uneven texture.
