Pair of gloves

Title (Dublin Core): Pair of gloves
Description (Dublin Core): A pair of red silk ecclesiastical gloves from Spain, marking some of the earliest examples of knitting on the European continent. These gloves also show how intricate color work had become. Knit in the round, the maker used yellow silk wrapped in silver strip to create many religious symbols on the glove like a cross surmounting a heart, a shepherds crook and reliquary. The cuffs have a geometric pattern and Greek wave which is repeated on the fingers. Yellow bobbin lace gives the appearance of seam lines.
