Summary/Abstract: This study concerns two objects discovered in 1960 in the course of excavations conducted in the collegiate church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Kruszwica. The findings in question involve embroidery in silk and metal threads on plain and incised satinum. One of the pieces of embroidery shows the figures of bishops, and the other – Latin inscriptions. An analysis of the weaving and embroidery material and techniques as well as a comparative analysis of similar objects from the same period made it possible to formulate a hypothesis about their origin and significance: the first is a fragment of a stole, and the second is a cingulum.
