Hey Mark
The photos are more convincing than your discription, I think it is outstanding, and can not think of any other possibility.
Best wishes

thank's for the suggestion ,but am finding it hard to believe someting this well made would have been made for a disposable purpose .
I a not 100 percent sure it is a Padre's vestment and may be a piece of mourning wear ,but would like some of the forum member's to chip in a little more info here please.
Thanks

I have no idea what this is, but why would you think it's disposable? I would think it would be used over and over. Put on the funeral wreath, removed after the funeral and used for the next one.
 
Never thouht that banners na dsuch for wreathe were re-used . The size and length were the vestment clue for me ,but have no idea of what this actually is .
