However, in the Middle Ages, women were often responsible for sewing and embroidering. We can imagine that it was a woman with long experience of needlework who created this miter. Perhaps this miter was even created by a nun. Religious women often created textiles for use in religious environments. Germany was home to many convents. German convents such as Wienhausen and Lune were famous for their embroidery and still hold some of medieval embroidery to this day.
