What it is Filled

A collar is a band worn around the neck; the sense in this registry entry is the ceremonial chain of an order of chivalry or honour, a decorative chain worn over the shoulders as an insignia of the order, from which a badge may hang. Its status depends on the order: it may mark a highest grade or be worn by members of an order with a single class. The registry aliases name collars of specific orders. This honorific collar differs from a garment collar and from a collar worn by an animal.
