One of the mystery religions absorbed by the Roman Catholic is involved in Philistine idol of the fish-man god called Dagon, which was also referred to as the devil.
The Pope and Bishop hat "Mitre" is called the fish head of Dagon. Pagan priest wearing a sun-fish, the head with open mouth worn as a mitre and the rest of the fish forming a cloak.
Dagon was the God of Babylon and Philistia and is mentioned several times in scripture in Judges 16:23, 1 Samuyl 5: 2-7, and 1 Chronicles 1: 10.
The most famous temples of Dagon were at Gaza inJudges 16:21-30 and Ashdod in1 Samuel 5:3,4; 1 Chronicles 10:10.
The Mitre or Dagon was represented with the face and hands of a man and the lower half the body as the tail of a fish in 1 Samuel 5:3-4.

It's called "A Fish Head Miter". From the side it looks like a fish's head.

Technically, it is called a "miter." Realistically, it's called 'just plain silly."
