Summary
The fact that death among the Basques has generated a series of rites and mores, which, linked to individual and collective beliefs, have created a set of elements of material culture, among which are the shrouds. In this article we wish to present a linen dating from the mid 16th century, preserved in the Basque Museum of Bilbao, analysing its formal aspects, the ethnic and historical value thereof and its contribution as witness of the passage rites in the Basque sailors community.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
