I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST TO A CHARITY SALE IN OUR CHURCH IN ST MICHEL DE CUIXA , FRENCH PYRENEES, WHERE I BOUGHT SOME WONDERFULL RELIGIOUS ITEMS , FABRIC AND VESTMENTS ALL HANDMADE FOR THE CHURCH BY NUNS

THIS IS A HANDMADE MANIPLE/ MANIPULE FOR A PRIEST OR BISHOP

Early 1900s

IN A WONDERFUL GOOD CONDITION: AS SHOWN ON THE PICTURES

MADE OF A BLACK VELVET WITH SILK , BOTH FEEL EXTREMELY SOFT AND TACTILE

SURROUNDED BY A SILVER METALLIC TRIMMING

THE MANIPLE HAS A CROSS ON THE SHOULDER MADE WITH THIS TRIMMING

ON THE SILK PARTS THERE ARE APPLICATIONS IN THE SHAPE OF A CROSS, HANDMADE WITH SILVER METALLIC THREAD

THERE ARE SILVER METALLIC FRINGES ON THE LOWER BORDERS

THE LINING IS MADE OF A BLACK COTTON FABRIC

JUST LOOK AT ALL THESE DETAILS AND IMAGINE THE HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK ON THIS PRETTY PIECE!

THE SILVER METALLIC PIECES HAVE A GORGEOUS SHINE IN THE LIGHTFALL

SIZES OF THE MANIPLE: 20.4 INCHES LONG FROM THE SHOULDER TO BOTTOM (51CM) INCLUDING THE FRINGES, SO IN TOTAL IT IS 40.8 INCHES LONG (1M02) X 4.6 INCHES WIDE AT THE WIDEST (11.5CM)

STILL READY FOR USE IN THE CHURCH OFCOURSE, ALSO PERFECT FOR THE COLLECTOR OF RELIGOUS ITEMS AND THE TEXTILE ADDICT (THE FABRIC, THE TRIM AND FRINGES CAN BE USED FOR OTHER PERIOD TEXTILE PROJECTS)
