an ornament peculiar to the pope, resembling a maniple (q.v.), and embroidered with the holy lamb (Agnus Dei). It is worn on the left side, being fastened by a cincture, and is, according to some, a substitute for an alms-purse, or according to others it was only a resemblance of the ends of a ribbon, formerly worn by most bishops as a cincture over the alb and which was called balteunm pudicitiae, or "belt of modesty." In the East bishops wear one pendant, of a lozenge form, tasseled, and with a cross on it called epigonation.
