Vintage altar cloth in fine white linen, hand-embroidered with a radiant cross underlined by an openwork floral motif.

This embroidered and openwork floral motif is repeated in the lower part of the piece of fabric. The two small embroidered eyelets in each of the upper corners indicate that it is a tabernacle veil or curtain.

In the Catholic liturgy, the conopy or veil of the tabernacle is the piece of cloth, hanging over or covering the tabernacle where the consecrated hosts are located. It is generally made of a noble material.The one I offer is made of fine white linen and it is decorated with a beautiful white embroidery executed by hand.
