Dalamtiek - Silk, Ribbon, Fabric, Embroidery - 1850-1900

Beautiful dalmatic in very good condition. The dalmatic is the liturgical garment of the deacon in the Latin Church. Dalmatia The word dalmatic (Latin: dalmatica) is derived from Dalmatia, a region in present-day Croatia. Dalmatians were generally worn only by male members of the upper classes. When liturgical colors emerged in the 11th century, the standard white of the dalmatic was expanded with black (for funerals), purple (for Advent and Lent), red (for martyrs and feasts of the Holy Spirit) and green (the time of year). The white, yellow or gold dalmatic is worn on feasts. The form of the dalmatic has changed over the centuries. Whereas the profane dalmatic was a long garment reaching far below the knees, the liturgical dalmatic became shorter over time, in both the body portion and the sleeves. In some types the sides are cut open, probably to facilitate performing liturgical actions. The lot is carefully packaged and sent by registered mail. Photos complete this description.
