Description
-
The construction of this chasuble is particularly notable in that the patterns of the orphrey and the side pieces have been carefully matched to mirror each other in the three different sections and create a symmetrical whole. Many chasubles are created with pieced fabric and, therefore, do not have this element of overall visual integrity.
