Abstract:

The paper discusses children’s burial attire at the examples of burials dated to the 16th/18th century. Besides the particular finds, written and iconographical sources concerning these periods are taken into account. The finds of swaddling-clothes in graves indicate a significant mortality rate among neonates and infants. Children’s grave robes were imitations of adults’ clothes and they are the most numerous finds. Some of them reminded everyday clothes. In the case of boys, this was usually the Polish national costume consisting of a żupan and a kontusz over it. Girls’ dresses were imitations of Western fashion trends, smaller versions of the clothes worn by noble ladies and burgher women. It is impossible, basing on the types of garments, to distinguish what faith the children belonged to. However, all the garments are excellent examples of the mutual transfers between the Polish and Western fashion trends and their influences on the ways of dressing children
