. "Dalmatic of black velvet in the Spanish style with bands and appareles embroidered in silver gilt and silver thread and coloured silks. The large oblong apparels at the bottom of the front and bakc, as well as the narrower apparels on the sleeves have a central medallion containing a skull and cross-bones within a frame of scroll-work outline; the surrounding space has a symmetrical arrangement of plants, and foliated scrolls linked together. There is a narrow border round the neck, and two pendent bands down both front and back, all filled with curved stems and flowers. The latter have leafy terminations. Some details are raised by padding. The velvet is much worn, frayed and repaired. Trimmed with copper-gilt braid of later date.\n\nLined with brown and black linen."@en . . .
