UnknownSilver Thread Embroidered Funeral VestmentXVII Century
XVII Century
About the Item
Rare and striking 17th-century funeral vestment, embroidered on both sides with precious silver threads on black velvet, a symbol of mourning and solemnity. One side depicts a skeleton standing on a rock, holding a scythe in his right hand and a winged hourglass in his left, a clear reference to the passage of time and the inevitability of death. On the opposite side, a skull with crossbones, framed by laurel branches and surmounted by a winged hourglass, reiterates the concept of memento mori, a constant reminder of the transience of earthly life.
The border is embellished with exquisite floral embroidery, lending elegance and depth to the composition. Its generous size (114 x 80 cm) and the quality of the embroidery make it a piece of great historical and artistic value, a witness to the rituality and sacred symbolism of the Baroque era. Perfect for collectors, museums or lovers of sacred and symbolist art.
