"Purchased from Franz Bock in 1864.\n\nIn the service of the Catholic Church, the maker of this chasuble combined imported silks from one of the premier centres of European silk-weaving with the finest professional embroidery made locally. The characteristic form of the crucifix and the Y-shape of the orphreys locate it geographically and chronologically. The chasuble is significant as an example of the finest craftsmanship in textiles. It is also significant as example of recycling in an earlier age, when the value of luxury textiles was much greater than now and recognised as such."@en . . . .
