Treatment of pre-Columbian objects.
Research and treatment of three pre-columbian artifacts from the collection of the city of Antwerp. Due to the application of paint layers of the ceramic body the removal of old restorations provides an additional challenge. The research is focussed on the stabilization of the paint layers and furthermore consists of a historic and material study of the objects. The treatment consists of the following; removal of previous restorations, stabilization of cracks/chips/fragile parts, bonding of the cracks, applying structural fillings, a non-integrated paint job.
