Anotations

Scope note:

Items comprising two quadrilateral segments, or later discs, connected to each other by two strings or bands in such a manner that, when the bands rest on the shoulders, the front segment rests before the breast, while the other hangs down an equal distance at the back. The segments may contain various images or symbols. These small scapulars developed from the larger cloak-like scapulars. Small scapulars are worn by various religious orders and laity; they may be worn over clothing or under, against the skin.
