Pouch for the Chalice Cover

Cleveland Museum of Art

Green fabric with embroidered flowers and gold design. The fabric is square, dark green background with a decorative gold border around the edges. The border consists of a thin line of interlocking floral patterns. In the center of the fabric, there is a large gold embroidered design that resembles a flower or star with eight curved petals. Surrounding the central design are several embroidered flowers in shades of pink, purple, and yellow, with green stems and leaves. The flowers are scattered around the fabric, some with multiple blooms on a single stem. The flowers have a realistic appearance with detailed petals and shading. The overall design is symmetrical, with flowers and stems arranged in a balanced composition. The fabric appears to be a pouch for a chalice cover, likely used for religious purposes. The artist's work is characterized by intricate embroidery and attention to detail. The title of the work is "Pouch for the Chalice Cover".
