The vimpae may be seen here, though out of use, as the Anglican Bishop shown is wearing his mitre and holding his crozier. 'Pockets' may clearly be seen in the vimpae, for the servers to insert their hands when holding the pontificalia.
The vimpa is used to hold the mitre or crosier, thus preventing direct contact with the pontificalia by anyone other than the bishop.[1][3]
A vimpa is also used on certain occasions to hold other sacred objects, such as vessels of holy oils.[4]

The vimpa is a narrow, winding shawl or scarf, made of a light fabric (usually silk).[5][2] It is either plain or simply decorated.[1][6] The base colour is usually white, but for certain occasions it may be purple, green, or gold.[4][5][2]
