Purple Roman Style Fiddleback Chasuble.
The Purple Roman Style Fiddleback Chasuble is a type of traditional Catholic liturgical vestment, often used during Masses in the Advent and Lent seasons due to its purple color, which symbolizes penance, preparation, and repentance.
Key features typically include:

- Rich Fabrics: Often made from brocade, damask, or silk, with intricate patterns or textures.
- Ornate Embroidery: Gold or silver embroidery featuring Christian symbols such as crosses, fleur-de-lis, or IHS monograms.
- Complementary Accessories: Usually paired with a stole, maniple, burse, and chalice veil, all in matching fabric and design.
