Description
Dalmatic (sleeved chasuble) in yellow silk damask edged in gold metallic braid. Inset front and back with square of silk brocade, white background, multicolored (predominantly red) flowers. Panels edged in gold metallic braid. Lined with waxed flax linen. Found with metal-edged circular tag 'VIII.8' This vestment takes its name from Dalmatia in Croatia, having been worn generally among the inhabitants of that country from the early Christian period. The garment became the fashion among both lay men and women in ancient Rome after the fourth century. The dalmatic is shorter than the alb and has short, wide sleeves. It is also slit at the sides from the bottom up to under the arms, and sometimes the underside of the sleeves are slit as well. This type of garment would be tied, buttoned, or laced to keep it in place on the figure.
