Place of origin

Dalmatic of brocaded silk on a cream satin ground. Brocaded floral design in blue, red, tan, buff and khaki. The flowers are disposed casually across the silk. The dalmatic is divided into panels front and back by strips of gold braid which take no account of the pattern. On the shoulders are plain yellow taffeta ribbons. The back is higher in cut than the front. The width is probably loom width. Fully lined with pink linen. The découpures are very marked.
