It features a variety of complementary colours, reminiscent of the magnificence of the sky at Sunrise. Thus the base colour is a very dark rose in a silk fabric which has almost a velvety appearance. Unfortunately, the unusual colour of this fabric is not well captured in the photograph.
The chasuble is ornamented with a lighter shade of rose: a dusty pink, outlined with a braid in burgundy and old gold. A special feature of this chasuble is a vesica or medallion taken from an early twentieth century Belgian Rose-coloured chasuble, which has the words (in Latin): "Rejoice with gladness, be not troubled".
The chasuble is lined in dupion silk the crimson-colour of rose petals.
