Cercetarea şi conservarea-restaurarea unei structuri textile din săpăturile arheologice de la Mănăstirea Căpriana / The research, preservation and restoration of textiles discovered during the archaeological excavations undertaken at the Căpriana Monastery
Abstract
The article presents the research of archaeological textiles (sample No. 3) found in burial No. 39 (dating back to 1580s) in the narthex of the Assumption Church of the Căpriana Monastery. The paper describes the archaeological textiles, procedures for the preservation and restoration of artifacts, as well as the method of manufacturing textile products based on archaeological analogies in the Romanian medieval principalities and the countries of Northern Europe. Fragments of textiles from the Căpriana Monastery are made of natural silk and narrow strips made using the technique of weaving from silk and metal threads. On the basis of analogies, it was established that fragments of textiles from the Căpriana Monastery represent elements of the ceremonial costume characteristic of the Romanian principalities in the 16th century.
