The statutes of silk weaving guilds laid down the composition and structure of fabrics, and they could vary according to where they were made. The materials, technique and pattern sometimes determined the name of the fabric. This modest silk conforms to a type called <i>camacas</i> in the statutes for the city of Lucca in 1376. Some <i>camacas</i> were made of silk alone, others had small details brocaded in metal thread. It is possible that yet others were made with much more gold thread, just like those depicted in paintings by the Italian artist Bernardo Daddi (active 1312; d. 1348) in works such as the <i>Anunciation</i> from the <i>Virgin and Child Enthroned with Six Saints</i> in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.\r\n\r\nCamacas silks from Lucca, woven with vine patterns were exported. They are recorded in the English royal wardrobe accounts in the 1320s, and in 14th-century inventories from Italy and France. In 1369, Pisa cathedral had an altar frontal of 'red and green Lucchese camacas worked with vines and grapes'.","physicalDescription":"Fragment of lampas silk woven with scrolling vines and birds, tabby-tabby weave, mounted on card, with watercolour reconstruction by Blanche F.
