Term for Pope's hat?

[doglady8]

I had friends over last night for a holiday get-together. One guest brought two bottles of a chateauneauf du pape as his contribution (which were delicous, btw). Anyway, each bottle had a imprint of the pope's hat in the glass, but no one could remember the term used to describe the hat itself.

I tried a web search, however could not find the term, just a thousand sites wanting to sell me something.

Does anyone know the correct terminology?

Thanks!

I think it's called a mitre

According to wikipedia it is called the episcopal mitre. I'm not sure if that is correct though.

LOL when i read the thread title, i thought you meant that there was a "term" as in a certain length of time for the pope's hat to be worn! :D hahah!!
