Burse(Corporal Case), 17th century. Creator: Unknown
Burse(Corporal Case), 17th century. This sumptuous polychrome velvet displays a central vase with abundant flora and exotic leaves flanking curving blossoming fronds on a gilt-metal thread ground. The pattern was created with five colours of cut and uncut (loops) velvet pile. Only the pile warps for the lush green velvet occur across the entire cloth, while each additional colour appears in vertical stripes--crimson, peach, rose, and purple. These widely acclaimed velvets from Genoa were the most colourful woven in Europe. Both the long stole and the shorter maniple are insignia of the office of deacons, priests, and the higher clergy. The stole was worn under a chasuble according to the office and the maniple was hung on the left forearm. The burse is a stiff receptacle in which the folded corporal, a white linen cloth on which the sacred bread and chalice are placed during the Mass, is carried to and from the altar. The upper fabric matches the chasuble, the bottom is a plain silk, and the interior has an obligatory linen lining

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century Burse (Corporal Case) is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Created by an unknown artist, this sumptuous polychrome velvet piece showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that were highly acclaimed in Genoa, making it one of the most colorful velvets woven in Europe during its time. The central vase takes center stage, adorned with abundant flora and exotic leaves on a gilt-metal thread ground. The curving blossoming fronds gracefully flank the vase, creating a harmonious composition. The pattern itself was meticulously crafted using five colors of cut and uncut velvet pile – lush green for the entire cloth, while vertical stripes feature crimson, peach, rose, and purple hues. This Burse holds great significance as it served as a receptacle for the folded corporal during Mass. Made from luxurious fabrics to match the chasuble worn by deacons, priests, and higher clergy members; its upper fabric matches their vestments while the bottom is plain silk.
