Woven silk Dye samples of this textile were analysed as part of the project âCaracterización de las producciones textiles de la Antigüedad TardÃa y Edad Media temprana: tejidos coptos, sasánidas, bizantinos e hispanomusulmanes en las colecciones públicas españolasâ (âCharacterization of Late Antique and Early Medieval textile production: Coptic, Sasanian, Byzantine and Spanish Muslim textiles in Spanish national collectionsâ) (HAR2008-04161) directed by Dr Laura RodrÃguez Peinado, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Dpt. de Historia del Arte I (Medieval). Analysis was conducted by Enrique Parra at the Alfonso X El Sabio University, Madrid. The dyes were analysed through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), extracting threads with a thickness varying between 5 and 1mm by means of 100 µL of methanol/hydrochloric acid/water 1:2:1. The results for this textile were as follows: Red - Madder Green - Indigo Yellow - Gualda? Cream coloured - not detected Blue - Indigo Silk
