Description: This chromolithograph, created by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the bishop's crosier, an essential symbol of spiritual authority and power within the Christian Church. The image, titled "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," showcases the intricately designed crosier, which dates back to the 12th century.
