Chasuble Date Unknown

This anonymous chasuble, a liturgical vestment worn by Catholic priests during Mass, is a fine example of 18th century embroidery. The white silk fabric is intricately decorated with a variety of colorful threads, creating an elaborate pattern of floral motifs, stylized leaves, and beaded loops. The piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the skill and artistry of anonymous creators of religious textiles.
