- Title
The Sábana de Santa Eufemia from the Cathedral of Ourense. A healing tissue.

- Abstract
This paper is a report of the first archaeological research ever carried out on the so-called "Sábana de Santa Eufemia". It is a very well-preserved embroidery in white from the reliquary of Saint Euphemia in the Cathedral of Ourense (Galicia, Spain), which is currently kept in the Cathedral Museum. The textile shows a very lavish decoration formed by an array of motifs taken from different cultural traditions. This point leads to think it was made in post-medieval times by someone who was familiar with medieval cloths of honour which were probably part of the Cathedral Treasury.
