Saya esperanza macarena

This gold thread-embroidered gown was created to adorn the sculpture of the Virgin Mary in the Basilica of Macarena in Seville. Taking a late 17th-century dalmatic (wide-sleeved tunic worn by high-ranking royals and clergy) as the basis for his own design, Francisco used gold thread for the embroidery work and finished the garment with sequins.
