Title
Morse with Apostles and Heraldic Shields
Description
English: This morse, or clasp, was once sewn onto a bishop's cope (ceremonial robe). The two heraldic shields, added later, represent the arms of Léon and Castile (left) and England (right). These shields suggest that the clasp was adapted for use on a luxurious cape worn by either Eleanor of Castile (d. 1290) or her husband, King Edward I of England (d. 1307).
