Lentorama 2013: There's a Name for That
Day 20: fanon
Another item that Benedict XVI decided to bring back, the fanon is circular cape-like thing with two layers (the top smaller than the bottom), with other vestments worn under or over the two layers (I won't even try to explain what goes where). It's white with gold stripes, and serves no real purpose that I can determine. Originally it could be worn by any priest, but by the Middle Ages is pope-only.
