Stole

From Vikings Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A strip of material worn much like a scarf. It should reach from knee to knee when hung about the neck (it may be made of two strips joining at the middle).

It may be made from wool, linen, silk, according to the cleric's wealth and importance.

It must be embroidered with a cross at either end and at the middle, and may be more richly decorated in line with the cleric's status.

At each end there may be two wider strips attached similar to the top of a Greek column, to which a fringe may be attached.
