Mission Stole and Maniple

Syrena Swanson

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of two decorative straps or ribbons adorned with floral designs. The painting features two elongated decorative items displayed on a neutral background. Each item showcases a central floral motif set against a subtle striped or lined pattern. Both decorative straps have fringes at the bottom, with the larger ornament also featuring what appears to be stitching or intricate details at the top. This is in the style of botanical illustration, where attention to detail and the subtle use of color bring out the intricate designs of the floral patterns.
