White Shadows #2

Much like the Biretta of a Tropical Bishop, here we have a Tropical Priest. As with his bishop he bears the colour of his office, black, in this instance reflected in pom-pom and lining. With regard to its auxiliary function, we rather imagine it is this hat which would be used to keep the bush flies off the pavlovas...

    Some Norbertines wear a four-bladed biretta with a black pom, though most wear either a white pom or none at all.
