Table 1
The examined pieces grouped according to type.
some pieces could have traces of
having been entirely pleated and
not just at the edges, although now
in a shape that made it impossible
to see clearly.
Two fragments were small
pieces with coloured stripes and
very fragmented silks, on one
fragment (00653745) the frills
were too fragmented to determine
typewise (possibly Type 1 & 2)
on the other the frills were not
visible (00653753).

One piece, a headband discovered
from the tomb of Queen Elenor,
was under conservation and could not be examined
during the visite. In all 11 numbers were available
for examination. Another 20 numbers of similar
textiles are in the collection in Patrimonio Real but
was not examined on this visite.
