Embroidered orphrey for a vestment. The background is worked with a raised diamond pattern executed in gold thread and surface couching with red silk. There is a scene of three architectural canopies with pinnacles, each containing two saints, one male and one female. The figures and architecture are worked in silk in tones of blue, pink, beige, yellow, green, brown, and white, in split stitch. The figures are in the lively, somewhat caricatural style of drawing characteristic of English orphreys of the mid-15th century. Noses and other features are slightly raised by padding.
The saints, reading upwards, are; St. James the Less or St. Jude with a club and St. Margaret with a Dragon, St. Catherine with a wheel and sword and St. Thomas with a spear, St. Peter with keys and book and St. Mary Magdalene with a pot of ointment.
