Priest's Stole
The "Priest's Stole" by an unknown artist is a long, narrow piece of fabric with a dark brown background. The fabric features a repeating pattern of golden yellow lines with arrowhead-shaped ends. Interspersed among these lines are illustrations of birds with long tails and plants. The illustrations are rendered in shades of gold, blue, and brown. A long, thin beige ribbon is attached to the right side, possibly for tying. The stole's edges appear to be finished with a simple fold. The background of the image is light gray.
