Burgundian gown
The
extant
original luxurious belt according to the Burgundian fashion
is deposited in German National Museum, Norimberk (cc.1450). The
belts could be plain or decorated, possibly embroidered as
indicate e.g. illuminations in Le morte d'Arthur (The Winchester
manuscript, 1485?) and Historie de Helayne (Brussels, MS 9967,
1470) or Heures de Bedford (London, The British Library,
Additional Ms. 18850, 1423-30).
