Precious Mitre

Precious mitre
Earlier this year, the Saint Bede Studio completed a precious mitre for a bishop in the United States.  The mitre was made from a magnificent brocade in colours of old gold and deep red with figured ornament of brighter gold metallic thread.  The mitre was lined in dupion silk in a subdued shade of gold.  The brocade being so decorative, a simple braid was used to form the circulus and titulus ornament.
