Textiles from the Tomb of St. Wenceslaus at Prague Castle (Czech Republic)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The collections of Prague Castle contain a valuable assemblage of textiles from the tomb of St. Wenceslaus (died in 935). The remains of the prince were brought from Stara Boleslav to Prague Castle several years after his death and deposited in the south apse of the St. Vitus Rotunda. The grave was still in the same place centuries later, and in the Middle Ages an above-ground tomb and altar were built and subsequently modified. The prince’s remains and grave inventory, mainly textiles, were exhumed in 1911, both from the altar and from the lead chest below the level of the tomb. A total of 18 different fabrics were restored in 2002–2003 and a textile-technological study was conducted, the specimens were evaluated in 2018 and 2019. The fabrics come from a broad period of time, i.e. from the 11th–12th century up to the 15th century. The greatest number date to the 13th–14th century. The areas where they were manufactured are located in all of the silk production centres of the period – in northern China, central Asia, the Near East, Egypt, Sicily, Spain and Italy. With the exception of the earliest fabric, which was woven using the weft-faced compound twill (samite) technique, the others are lampas weaves. Unpatterned textiles are in tabby or twill weaves. The fabrics from the tomb of St. Wenceslaus are secondary relics, i.e. artefacts that came into contact with the relics of the saint.
