days of the church were of wood or ivory, and generally in the form of th=

the 13th century were of greater length, were made of either gold or silv=

and were richly chased and otherwise ornamented. In the three following
centuries they were still richer in design, but in the 17th century they
assumed the bent appearance which they have ever since retained. <=
