Apparel of a dalmatic. Crimson velvet, with applied (appliqué) work, chiefly of white satin, which has been tinted in water-colour in parts, and blue and white satin, edged with gold cord, stitched down, to outline the various forms of the design, and with silver cord, stitched down, for scrolls from the ends of the appliqué forms. The design consists of an oval strapwork medallion in the centre, enclosing a figure of St. John the Evangelist, surrounded by straight and wavy rays in silver gimp outlined with gold thread. The costume of the Saint is worked chiefly in green and red silks in short stitches taken over double lines of gold thread; the eagle on his right is worked in yellow silk and gold threads in short stitches. Into the two central strapwork devices of the medallion are linked upwards curving floriated scrolls, one on each side. In each of the lower corners of the apparel is a similar floriated scroll. Numerous single cord tendrils or small scrolls spring from various parts of the appliqué scrolls. Split and satin stitches and couched work.
