[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 83585, member: 57"]That is a "stole." The "stole" is worn around the back of the neck and hanging over the front of the the priest's/minister's "surplice" (a "surplice" is [U]not[/U] one of the items shown in the carving). I think (but am not entirely certain) that the "stole" symbolizes a "yoke" which a priest/minister takes upon his/her shoulders.[/QUOTE]
