Pallium

Pallium: A pallium is a narrow, white scarf worn by high Roman Catholic officials, embroidered with crosses. Over the centuries the pallium has evolved as to who might wear it and when. Today the modern pallium is only worn by the Pope and select archbishops. The Pope's pallium is a circle worn around the neck with pieces hang down in front and back.

Phillip reached into a small pocket in the tail of his pallium and removed the letter, tied with ribbon and sealed with wax.

He was well dressed in wool trousers and a silk shirt, over which he wore a pallium, a narrow scarf of lamb's wool emblazoned with crosses that was draped over his shoulders and hung to his hips in the front and back.
