Miter from the abbey church of the Benedictine monastery of Saint Peter
Bishop's miter from the Benedictine Monastery of St. Peter in Salzburg, Austria, probably made in Germany of Near Eastern silk. Ground fabric is of cream white silk patterned with large medallion enclosing heraldic eagles, embroidered in gold metallic threads with eight-pointed stars and small disks of green and violet silk edged with gold; above each star is a six-petalled rosette worked in faded orange silk and also edged in gold. Two lappets of light orange silk patterned with animals and trees in medallions hang from back; relined.
