In the Corpus Christi church in Krakow remains of blue silk textile adorned with embroideries are preserved. They are framed and described as a velum from the 18th century. These fragments of embroidery in couched metal threads complemented with silk threads in flat stitches depict a medallion with a winged eagle holding a scroll with the inscription “Joh[a]nns” and below a titulus of the cross with the inscription INRI. Two other parts of the textile show remains of medallions with a winged ox and a figure with a scroll and on two small fragments remained an edging embroidered on the parchment padding. Very similar iconography and technique can be found in an orphrey in Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Münnich thought to be made in Austria about 1440 and above all the group of orphreys created in the Krakow workshop in the third quarter of the 15th century. The thus enabled reconstruction from the fragments in the Corpus Christi Church an orphrey and to date it to second quarter of the 15th century (probably late forties).
