Detail of a chasuble of ca. 1850 in the collection of liturgical vestments in the Treasury of the Basilica of Our lady in Maastricht, Netherlands. The orphreys of the white silk chasuble are embroidered with gold thread in a floral pattern with lilies, crowns and rhinestones. The central image on the cross is of a pelican feeding her chickens with her own blood, a symbol of Christ's sacrifice.
