The large pomegranate and parallel waving branch motifs make this a quintessential example of the opulent metallic and silk velvet textiles of the late 15th century. The scale and richness of the design give the cope a sense of grandeur appropriate for ecclesiastical purposes. The orphrey textile is also made from a classic Italian textile from the 17th century. Together, they illustrate how textiles used in ecclesiastical garments were kept and reused over time.
