Textilie z tumby sv. Václava

Abstract

The Prague Castle collections hold a precious series of fabrics from the tomb of St. Wenceslas († 935). The remains of the prince were transferred to Prague Castle from Stará Boleslav several years after his death, and were interred in the south apse of St. Vitus Rotunda. For centuries, the grave remained in the same place. In the Middle Ages an above-ground tomb and altar were constructed, later modified several times. The remains and the grave goods, mostly fabrics, were removed from the altar and the lead tomb situated underneath the floor in 1911. In total, 18 fabrics were restored in 2002-2003, textile and technological analyses were conducted, and in 2018 and 2019 the items were newly assessed. The fabrics come from a broad period spanning the 11th/12th century and the 15th century. Most fabrics date from the 13th-14th century. The regions in which the fabrics were produced are located in all major silk-making centres of the time: north China, central Asia, the Near East, Egypt, Spain and Italy. The oldest fabric was woven with the samitum technique, the others are lampas fabrics. The fabrics without patterns are in plain or twill weave. The fabrics from the tomb of St. Wenceslas are secondary relics, i.e. objects which were in contact with the saint's remains.
