"Skull Cap: A Symbol of Authority and Tradition" Throughout history, the skull cap has been worn by individuals from various walks of life, representing authority, tradition, and religious significance. One notable figure associated with the skull cap is Charles Howard, First Earl of Nottingham (early-mid 19th century). As a prominent English nobleman and politician, he was often depicted wearing this distinctive headpiece in portraits painted by H Robinson. In another era, George Herbert and Anon Eng were captured in an anonymous artwork donning skull caps. These individuals remain mysterious to us today but their choice of headwear suggests a connection to tradition or perhaps even religious affiliation. Moving back in time to the 17th century, we encounter John Owen - an influential English Puritan pastor and theologian. In a copper engraving dating back to around 1800, Owen can be seen wearing his signature skull cap as a symbol of his devout faith. The influence of the skull cap extends beyond Europe as well. F. Ximines (1436-1517), depicted in an artwork from 1830 whose creator remains unknown, showcases how this headgear transcended borders and became part of cultural attire elsewhere. Even renowned artists like Titian (c1488-1576) have been portrayed wearing skull caps during their creative endeavors. The unknown artist who created this depiction in 1830 highlights how these caps were not limited to specific professions but rather embraced across different fields. Religious leaders also adopted the use of skull caps throughout history. Pope Paul VI's meeting with King Hussein I of Jordan in Amman on January 4th, 1964 shows both figures adorned with these symbolic headpieces that denote their spiritual authority. Pope John Paul II was frequently seen sporting a white skull cap during his papacy.
