As for the service, the priest faces in the same direction as the parishioners and also wears a ceremonial garment 7/8- known as a maniple- on his left forearm.

The next two figures are priests, each vested in dalmatic, maniple, stole, and alb, acting as deacon and sub-deacon, the first holding an open service book, the second the chalice and pyx.

It was called a superhumeral, and is described as a somewhat broader stole, thrown over the shoulders, and adorned with fringes, with two maniples of the shape of shields hanging down from it.

The small embroidered strip hanging on the left arm is the maniple.

“Each century, or at least each maniple,” says Meyrick, “had its proper standard and standard-bearer.”
