Luxurious silk fabrics, woven by Muslims on the Iberian peninsula, were often found in the tombs of Christian princes or prelates. This fabric comes from the tombs of the infant Don Felipe of Castile († 1274, son of King Fernando III of Castile and León) and his second wife Inés Giron. These two tombs are located in the Santa María church in Villalcázar de Sirga (Palencia), situated along the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Together with another fragment from the same grave, also preserved in the Royal Museums of Art and History (inventory IS.Tx.553), this textile probably formed part of a pellote, an overgarment without sleeves.
Because both fabrics differ from those that have definitely come from Don Felipe's tomb, they probably belonged to a pellote by Inés Giron. In the bands of blackened metal wire, the phrase Alhamdulillah, 'Glory to God', is repeated.
