Maniple
Not on view
Appliquéd crosses of wide gilt-metal-thread tape decorate this maniple (a long, narrow piece of material used in the liturgy), made of plain yellowish green silk cut velvet from seventeenth-century Spain.The maniple, which is completed at both ends with gilt metal fringe, forms a set with a burse (a square pocketlike receptacle for the corporal, or the cloth used to cover the elements of the Eucharist)in the Lehman Collection (1975.1.1875B).
