A Y-shaped silk and gold embroidery features a central intersection depicting the Trinity: a crowned figure holds a crucified Christ beneath a dove, flanked by flying angels. A vertical band descends with repeating red roses and green foliage. At the base, a crowned red shield displays three crosses. Tarnished gold and muted silk threads detail the intricate figures and motifs, all framed by a dark red border.
