A red brocade stole once belonging to the Rev. Soper.
Protestant denominations use stoles as liturgical vestments, and they symbolize being a member of the ordained. A stole consists of a band of cloth, usually coloured and often made of silk; the centre of the stole is worn around the back of the neck while the two ends hang down in front.
