The pattern of this magnificent brocade silk is similar to a fresco, found in the castle of Esztergom in Hungary, dated 10 - 11th century. The motif is probably in connexion with the Saint-Siviard silk, also dated from the 10th century. Parallels are also possible with other brocades from Eastern sources. We can therefore deduce that the motif of the Esztergom fresco comes from a Byzantine silk.
