Based on radiocarbon dating, moulds and the Results of metallurgical analysis are discussed in This paper. Járó M., Tóth A., Gondár E.: Determination of the manufacturing technique of a 10th century metal thread = ICOM Committee for Conservation, 9th Triennial Meeting, Dresden Pre-prints, Vol. I (1990) 299-302. The embroidery thread of a 10

th century relic pouch was examined by different scientific methods. The aim of the investigations was to establish an optimal sequence of methods to obtain the maximum information on the manufacturing technique of the metal thread using as possible. Optical microscopy , scanning electronmicroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis were used for the morphological and material tests of the two samples of about 3 mm in common length. Data show that a one side gilt silver strip was wound around a silk core to make the thread. Thickness and width о the metal strip, the composition and width of the silver and the gold layer and the possible way of gilding are also given. Járó M.: Gold Embroidery and Fabrics in Europe: XI-XIV Centuries = Gold Bulletin Vol. 23. (1990) No. 2, 40-57. Sophisticated scientific methods have opened up new dimensions in Research into the metal threads decorated ancient textiles. At the same time, some of the Results of the investigations have given rise to new questions to be answered. A review is given of the metal thread types used in Europe in the XI-XIV

th centuries: gold and one side gilt silver strips and their variation wound around a fibrous core (usually silk), gilt leather strip and its variation wound around a fibrous core (usually silk), strip made of silvergilt animal gut wound around a fibrous core (usually linen or hemp). The descriptions are completed with the published Investigation data. 301
