Data from: Identification and protection of puce unlined clothing with printed gold and color-painted lace

The unlined clothing was among funeral objects, and was made of the most common leno fabric, which was light and transparent, and the clothing was in extremely poor condition. To protect the unlined clothing, scientific evaluation and protection were carried out.

Three-dimensional microscopy was used to analyze the weave structure and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) were used to scientifically analyze the printed gold and color paint components of the unlined clothing. The results showed that the structure of the unlined clothing was a two-warp twisted leno, the printed gold contained Au, Cu, Fe and other elements, the colored paint contained Pb and Hg elements, and the binding material component of the colored paint was type I collagen.
