In silk, charmeuse. It's beautiful. It's like carrying a secret in your pocket. This design captures a painting by Hieronymus Bosch called 'The Seven Deadly Sins and the Last Four Things,' though there's much controversy around whether or not the painting was actually done by Bosch and it dates to the 1500s.

At the centre of the large circle, which is said to represent the eye of God, is a "pupil" in which Christ can be seen emerging from his tomb.
