Double issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club for 1978. Its main article, by Eleanor B. Sachs, studies a twelfth-century bishop's mitre from the convent of Neustift (Brixen) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It examines the woven gold-and-silk brow-band with its double-tailed mermaid, centaurs, lion and a figure possibly Scylla or Alexander, traces the mermaid motif back to Greek, Etruscan and Roman Scylla imagery, and includes a diagram of the 4-1 warp twill with gold surface weft. The issue also has Notes from Abroad, Book Notes (needlepoint, Deerfield blue and white needlework, resist dyeing, American needlework, Brussels tapestries), Club Notes, an In Memoriam list and a list of officers.
