Los bordados medievales de la Estola de San Narciso y el Estandarte de San Ot han uscitado cierto interés de los investigadores por su contenido epigráfico y figurativo. Al incorporar inscripciones con me fecit y un retrato de donantes, se inscriben en la problemática para interpretar si estos recursos aluden al artista o al comitente, en su caso, una mujer. Por ello, la atención se ha centrado fundamentalmente en identificar al sujeto histórico responsable de su autoría. Contrariamente, este artículo pretende indagar en el sistema social y de creencias del contexto en el que ambos fueron creados. El objetivo es entender, a su vez, cómo cuestiones como la creación colectiva, el anonimato o el culto a los santos pudieron influir en las estrategias para dar forma a esas mismas imágenes e inscripciones.
The medieval embroideries of the Stole of Saint Narcissus and the Banner of Saint Ot have attracted attention among scholars for their textual and figurative content: a pair of “me fecit” embroidered inscriptions and a donor portrait. Because of these details, the textiles have traditionally been studied from the perspective of seeking to learn who the artist or patron may have been, and if she were a woman. Thus, scholarly interest has mainly revolved around the identification of the individuals responsible for their making. By taking a different approach, this paper delves into the social and religious systems that were involved in their creation. In doing so, the goal is to better understand how matters such as collective authorship, anonymity, or the cult of saints may have influenced the forms used to express the images and text found in these textiles.
