Funerary furnishings of the members of the noble Gryspek family of Griesbach. Contribution to a knowledge of the clothing of elites at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in Western Bohemia

Veronika Pilná

The article describes the condition of funerary furnishings of the Gryspek family of Griesbach, deposited in the family tomb of the Kralovice church of Sts. Peter and Paul. The clothing can be distinguished between the original from the late 16th and early 17th century, and shrouds that the bodies received as gifts during the 19th century. The analysis focuses primarily on the original burial clothes, their descriptions and analogies. The research was conducted during two conservation interventions in 2012. The article concludes by addressing the ethical issue of researching burial textiles.
