Stole, church paraments, flowers, leaves, liturgical vestment; white silk stole embroidered with a pattern of floral sprigs, without a distinct composition; fabric probably cut from a larger piece. Equal-armed crosses made of gold lace are sewn into the center of the stole's pallettes and waistband. The edges of the pallettes are trimmed with the same lace. 18th century, Poland; liturgical vestment; length 205 cm, width 18 9 cm., A long, narrow fabric strip with widened paddle-like ends lies diagonally across a pale gray background; the fabric appears to be a muted gold or beige color with a subtle sheen and visible weave texture, showing slight wrinkles and folds, and a small portion of a different-colored lining peeks out at one folded end.
