Three portions of the orphrey of a vestment, embroidered with coloured silks, and silver-gilt and silver thread on linen. There is also a small fragment. Each piece has a figure of a saint beneath an architectural canopy supported by twisted columns. (1) a royal saint (possibly St. Edward the Martyr) with a sceptre in his left hand, and holding a cup with his right hand; before him stands a page with the cover of the cup stabbing him; (2) a prophet with shepherd's crook and scrip (3) St. Catherine of Alexandria, with sword and wheel.
