Juan Arias Dávila's Dalmatic

The dalmatic of Bishop Juan Arias Dávila is part of the vestment worn by this important bishop of Segovia between 1461 and 1497. This dalmatic features heraldic embroidery on the skirt and cuffs. The skirt is made of red velvet, decorated with a medallion framed by a border composed of bands intertwined in various shapes, and within it, the bishop's coat of arms. It is divided into three parts: the cross of Calatrava, a sable eagle, and a castle, topped with a cap.
