Mitre of linen ground embroidered in gold threads with polychrome silks, probably Flanders, ca.1592. Mitre, probably a linen ground, chiefly embroidered in gold threads, couched in the form of Gothic arches, under which stand human figures, their faces worked in fine silks in long and short stitch, and their draperies in gold threads whipped with fine coloured silks. On each side an angel supports a coat of arms, the fields of the shield in blue and red silks, couched down. On one side the figures represent the Virgin and St. Augustine, on the other St. Barbara and St. Leonard. The mitre has two lappets which are worked in a similar way to the mitre itself, with the figures of Saints Peter and Paul. An inscription in French inside the mitre states that it was made in 1592, and repaired in 1766. Embroidery of coloured silks, silver-gilt thread and strips.
