Abstract

The article presents the results of studying textiles and gold thread from the Chernaya Mogila mound excavated by D.Ya. Samokvasov in 1872–1873. The findings did not attract the researchers’ attention for more than 100 years after the field work. It was first published by M.V. Fekhner only in 1979. The complex fate of the collection and a number of contradictory facts suggest doubts as to the origin of textile objects from the aforementioned funerary complex. At the moment, the Chernaya Mogila collection from the funds of the State Historical Museum includes two easels with fabric fragments decorated with appliqués and embroidery known in historiography as perhaps the earliest cases of gold embroidery in Rus.
