Bringing the Holy Land Home: The Crusades, Chertsey Abbey, and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Masterpiece

Where was this produced?

The silk used to create this miter was produced in either Byzantine or Islamic areas of the Mediterranean. Similar imported silk material was used in many other miters and vestments, such as another Miter from the Abbey Church of St Peter, currently in the Abegg Stiftung collection.  Construction of the miter may have taken place in Germany or Austria.  It was sent to the ancient Benedictine monastery of St. Peter in Salzburg, where it would be used for years to come.
