<p>[QUOTE="FitzNigel, post: 2588191, member: 74712"]I'll admit I've never attempted an in-depth research into mitres- I'm just more familiar with the pentagon front and the two halves split like the picture I provided. Perhaps that shape was more common in the 12th century which is my area of specialty. The split-front mitre you posted looks like a 15th c. Painting, so perhaps there was some evolution. (Love how that bishop is dressed for battle, btw - that's the kind of stuff that makes me love the Middle Ages)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
