A Catholic chasuble with a brown-gold ground with a brocaded floral design predominantly in metallic gold, green and buff pinks, incorporating strips of silver braid. These floral designs are typical of silk brocades produced during the 18th-19th century in Valencia, Spain, inspired by French textiles worn by the court at the time.

This type of textile is called Espolín which utilised an embroidery-like effect. Valencian silk weavers had great mastery of this technique and made these fabrics the jewel of all Valencian silks.

The use of wheat and grapes motifs evokes the bread and wine used in the eucharist where it is believed to be transfigured into the body and blood of Christ during mass. Other flora used includes roses and lilies(?),

The object features a pinned label from a previous owner. The label indicates that the piece dates back to before 1917 (likely the year it was acquired by a prior owner) and that it came from Mexico. The chasuble, or perhaps just the silk brocade from which it was made, likely arrived in the Americas through trade.
