Chasuble, stole and maniple 1704 Italian The opulence and expense of the materials and labor that went into the making of this chasuble, stole and maniple provide evidence for the importance of vestments to the religious practices of the time. Although its general condition is poor, this early-18th century example still evokes a sense of awe with its workmanship and overall beauty.
