Eagle dalmatica
Eagle dalmatica is called a coat embroidered with eagles . First mentioned around 1350, this insignia is counted among the coronation robes of the Roman-German emperors . This mantle is mistakenly attributed to the insignia of Charlemagne . Albrecht Dürer depicted Charlemagne in this coat in a picture. The eagle dalmatica was probably made around 1300 from Chinese fabric, damask - "red silk body damask", which shows the "Chinese cloud ribbon" in the fabric pattern - and black silk . The gold braids, decorated with as yet unexplained rulers , are made of damask and the imperial eagle is embroidered with black silk. The eagle eyes are made of enamel . A Gugel belongs to the eagle dalmatica, but it was lost when it was relocated from Nuremberg to Vienna . Today this coat is in the treasury in Vienna.
