cendal

The body was preceded by a noble Moor, who bore upon his head a box of cendal wood inlaid with mother-of-pearl.

The squire who brought the sword returns, wraps it in a cendal, and carries it off.

Taffeta was a thin transparent textile, and was used, as well as cendal, during the Middle Ages for linings.

Cendal was a less costly fabric, and was also used largely in ecclesiastical vestments.

Sarcenet also is a light webbed silk, and by degrees supplanted cendal.
