DescriptionEcclesiastical Costume/Damask. a: Chasuble with self orphrey. b: Maniple. a: White silk damask with a lattice pattern of ornate bands intersecting in medallions bearing alternately the Greek monogram for Jesus, "IHS," and the letter "M." In the interstices a cross with fleur-de-lis terminals alternating with one having shamrock terminals. Yellow silk tape with a fine repeating lozenge pattern placed all around the inner edge and the neck opening, metting in a "V" on the back beneath the yoke and defining the orphries.
