Mitre
Robes (mitre, cope, stole, rochet and morse) worn by Dr Rowan Williams on his enthronement as the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, 27 February 2003. Dr Williams was the first Welshman to lead the Anglican Communion and the first since the 13th century to be appointed from beyond the English Church.
Mitre made from pale yellow silk on two sides which are stiffened inside, with a darker yellow silk at the crown and in a band around the lower edge, which is embroidered in gold thread. The inside is lined with cream wool flannel. Lappets hang from the back; these are also made from pale yellow silk and embroidered in gold thread. The mitre is entirely stitched by hand in cotton thread.
