Development of the mitre, 1121-1161, (1910). Early ecclesiastical dress. A depression in the centre of the mitre (bishop's headgear), has caused a small knob to become apparent on either side, which subsequently became the horns. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910).
