This picture of Pius the Tenth is hanging on the front hall of my school. I would imagine it’s an apostolic blessing of some sort. my question is, what is the tablet- looking pendant hanging from his chest? Thank you. (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

He wears the mantum, the papal garment larger than a cope. The morse (tabled-looking pendant) is the clasp holding the mantum together.
 
ok… are the 3 nodes symbolic of anything? is the morse symbolic of anything?
