{"product_id":"ivory-arch-tree-mosaic-stole","title":"Ivory Tree of Life Stole with Stained-Glass Arch and Mosaic Ground","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis ivory clergy stole sets a stained-glass-style Tree of Life inside an arch on each panel, above a glittering mosaic ground, with plain ivory fabric left above and below. It can be tailored to your own length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than run the full drop of the stole, the design is confined to an arch-shaped section at the mid-panel: a gold trunk and roots curl into a circular knot at the base, rising into green leaf clusters touched with red, all rendered with hard black outlines in a stained-glass style. Beneath the tree, a mosaic of small tiles in blue, green, gold and red fills the lower part of the arch, catching the light with a faceted, glittering finish. The tree above and the mosaic below give the impression of a church window sitting over a tiled floor. The whole panel sits flat against the ivory ground rather than standing proud of it. Plain ivory fabric fills the space above and below the arch, and gold cord pipes the edges; there is no fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an ivory stole it belongs to the white class, worn on the church's high days and, by long custom, at weddings regardless of season. Its plain sections and adjustable length make it easy to shorten or lengthen for a particular wearer without cutting into the motif, which is one reason couples and officiants order it for a wedding rather than a fixed feast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest, pastor or minister officiating a wedding, or receiving this as an ordination gift, will get the most from the arch design, since the plain ivory above and below leaves visual room rather than crowding the whole panel with pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over both shoulders. Any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in is priced the same as standard; past 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, to a maximum of 160 in. Enter a height in the box above for a suggested length, which you may override; the length, height and any notes you confirm travel through to your cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wedding-and-officiant-vestments\"\u003ewedding and officiant vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stoles\u003c\/a\u003e range, or read our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/measuring-guide\"\u003emeasuring guide\u003c\/a\u003e before you confirm a length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382777684203,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-STD","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382777716971,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M120","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408867074283,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M125","price":194.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408867107051,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M130","price":204.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408867139819,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M135","price":214.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408867172587,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M140","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408867205355,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M145","price":234.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408867238123,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M150","price":244.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408867270891,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M155","price":254.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408867303659,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-TRE-076-M160","price":264.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/ivory-arch-tree-mosaic-stole-1.jpg?v=1788952582","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/ivory-arch-tree-mosaic-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
