How was this made?
This tablet weaving was most likely used around the lappets and edges of the Miter. Looking at the detailing and specific of the Miter head, it is continuously mentioned that the head had heraldic eagles detailed in the silk. This detail is not seen today and would have been difficult even when the Miter was still in its prime of decoration. However, this detailing indicates that much of the design on the head was hand woven. The use of jewels and eight pointed stars indicate that due to the technology from this time, most the head of this textile would have been decorated by hand and woven with other silk and assorted colors to assist with the visual detail.
