Abstract:
Beyond the material or the finishing of the Romanian court clothes, which can be found at Western, Byzantine or near-East prototypes, we notice a number of particular fea-tures belonging to the local traditions. Thus, the embroidery or the arrangement of some ornaments gives a special character to the costume. Presenting the history of the auditorium costume, it succeeds in putting or clarifying a series of problems related to medieval textiles or their fabrication. The methodical analysis of a large number of fabrics found at archaeo-logical excavations and identified on epic images or compared with similar products in the surrounding or remote lands, favors the establishment of a typology important both for the reconstruction of the Romanian culture and for the location or settlement in time of faces of voivodes and boyars.
