Priest's Stole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Long, narrow, vertically oriented image of a priest's stole. The stole has a repeating pattern of crosses and flowers in white on a dark background, with some subtle texture. The pattern is arranged in horizontal rows of squares. The stole appears to be hanging vertically, with a flat top and bottom edge visible. The image is in black and white. Two small, dark rectangles are at the bottom. A thin dark line runs across the top.
