This piece belonged to Catarina d'Eça, the Abbess of the Monastery of Lorvão. The fabric of the cape was substituted in the 18th century; however, all the original embroidery remains. Under the architectural niches bearing the owner's coat of arms are the figures of six saints with the palm leaf of martyrdom. Two of the figures hold an open book, whilst two others hold an inverted arrow.
