Juan Arias Dávila's Dalmatic

The dalmatic of Bishop Juan Arias Dávila is part of a liturgical set for worship that belonged to this important bishop of Segovia between 1461 and 1497. This dalmatic features panels and cuffs with heraldic embroidery. It is divided into three parts: the Cross of Calatrava, a black eagle, and a castle, topped with a cardinal's hat. On the lower section, the episcopal coat of arms can be seen.
