proof/refernces?

Which particlar cloth of gold?

eg. heavily emboidered gamrents might be called cloth of gold, and would have a substantial weight of gold on them.

But actual woven gold cloth indeed might not be gold at all, but for all periods, places?

Tiff

There is a cloth made from mollusks called byssus and is also called "cloth of gold" however there was also cloth woven from threadmade of finely beaten gold wound around a core.
