Portuguese Tapestry Fabric

The Portuguese name tells the background of this liturgical fabric. It is a multi-colored Indo-Portuguese design dating from the 18th century. The design is centered on a large and colorful floral motif, complete with bird accents, on a classic church fabric. Portuguese is a large scale tapestry, woven on a cream ground. The floral colors include gold, blue, green, rose, and deep red (or burgundy). Portuguese is suitable for a wide variety of uses where a tapestry pattern is needed.*
