Notes	The apron of Don Felipe II, almost semicircular in shape, is one of the most representative pieces of the thirteenth century AD. The bulk of it is kept in the National Archaeological Museum; When the then-known parts I, V, D and J from Madrid and the Cooper Union Museum of Art in New York were restored in 1997, other pieces were added to them, which were located in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, in the museums of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Lyon and the Art Institute of Chicago, and in the Royal Museums of Art and Natural History in Brussels, as well as a small part preserved in the National Archaeological Museum itself (inventory number 51016). The fabric is silk in shades of blue, raw silk, red and yellow, mixed with gilt threads over a mottled background, with a decoration of "taffeta" hem points with a chain of rope at the intersection of the base chain and other webs. The result is a completely mesh-like fabric, faded and with clear borders. The piece presents a geometric decoration of stylized interlacing, eight-pointed star plates, quatrefoils and floral motifs, both inside and in the spaces between the motifs. On the edges, inscription bands provide the finishing touches; The word “Baraka” is repeated in Kufic letters in lines that are read, respectively, from left to right, then from right to left.
