End of a Maniple; pattern, lozenges, green charged with a yellow cross, and red charged with a white cross of web; the end, linen embroidered with a saint holding a scroll, and fringed with long strips of flos-silk, green blue white and crimson. German, early 15th century. 15½ inches by 3 inches.
As this piece is put the wrong side out in the frame, the figure of the saint cannot be identified, nor the word on the scroll read.

Poor in every respect, and the small band of gold is almost black.
