I don't know this website, but I think you may mean the saya from Burgos, shown Marc's site: http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/cloth/burgsite.html About halfway down this page: http://www.virtue.to/articles/extant.html Cynthia Virtue has a pellote from the same find. Also from the same find is a male infant's pellote that's yellowish beige with horizontal dark blue stripes (I have an image of it in my files, listed as belonging to Fernando, son of Alfonso X). I also have a color photo of Leonora of Aragon's saya, but it's not a very good quality--the saya looks generally brown, with black or blue gores. The images I have are from: http://www.kostym.cz/ which for some reason no longer seems to allow direct links, and is otherwise being weird. Clink on the UK flag, then on European Medieval... 88, then click on next until you see something likely. This site also mentions a c1235 surcotte belonging to the infanta Marie at the Museo de Traje in Madrid, which you might also want to look at. Anyway, this might at least give you a bit of a start at finding the website! From looking at Marc's site, you might want to search for the Museo de Telas Medievales in Burgos, Spain. -E House _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
