This early-18th century chasuble is adorned with 16th-century orphreys; a notable example of how these embroidered bands were treasured, preserved and reapplied to chasubles from one century to the next. The skilled workmanship depicts 4 church figures: St. Anthony of Padua, with a book as Doctor of the Church; possibly St. Leonard of Porto Maurizio, with a large cross alluding to the devotion of the Stations of the Cross, which he championed; St. Francis of Assisi, shown with stigmata, and St. Bonaventure, with a book as a Doctor of the Church, as well as a double-barred cross and the red hat of a cardinal. The figures of both Sts. Leonard and Bonaventure are cut off, which indicates that the embroidery is being re-used. It is possible that since all of the saints depicted are Franciscans, the piece may have been originally made for Franciscans.
