Doubt about exact location of making is based on the fact that the body of the garment is made in silk velvet of a type made in both Spain and Italy in this period. Dye analysis of the velvet suggests it may be Spanish rather than Italian, but is not conclusive. The haloes are worked in a succession of curving rays, which is characteristic of German embroidery, according to Pauline Johnstone (p. 75). The orphrey bands are typical of bands made in Germany (Cologne), these saints being particularly associated with that area. Attribution note: Splendid ecclesiastical vestments were made for particular churches or clergymen, either in external workshops or workshops attached to cathedrals. Reason For Production: Commission
