Description
This panel is likely from a christening mantle, a decorative shawl or cape worn during the
procession at a christening. This example features radiant gold thread enhanced with eight vibrant
colors of shiny silk thread that create a delicate
pattern of blossoms issuing from ornate stems.
The decoration forms the main field and two end
sections bordered by foliate motifs.
