Summary/Abstract: This article presents visualization of published observations on the grave of a boy in Basilica No. 2 in Medieval Drastar. Traces of a textile belt with metal decorations and remains of a caftan with golden embroidery and a linen shirt were found in the grave. The belt was found wrapped twice around the waist of the boy and it is probable that it was not worn by him when he was alive. There are illustrations of the position of the belt in the grave, the manner in which it was worn, the manner in which the caftan was fastened and the general appearance of the clothing.
