Soft cover. Condition: New. 301 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 27 cm. The Vatican Museums Sharing Conservation project continues with success. In 2012 the second conference took place, organised by the Ethnological Materials Laboratory in collaboration with the Ethnological Museum, divided into two study days devoted t…o the material "earth", and symbolically to the planet "Earth". This volume, available in Italian and English, is a collection of the Proceedings. The complex theme of the restoration and conservation of multi-material items is addressed through the various experiences faced by professionals and scholars of international renown, strengthening the intention of sharing reflections, results and solutions, but above all, of highlighting valuable cultural evidence. The themes include artistic expressions linked to earth, such as the Shipibo ceramics of Peruvian Amazonia and the Buddhist sculptures of central Asia, as well as Australian aboriginal artefacts; examples of earthen architectural complexes in Peru, Mexico and Benin; and problems related to the preservation of museum collections and the defence of cultural heritage. The book is extensively illustrated with photographs depicting works and constructions undergoing restoration and conservation work. The posters displayed in the Ethnological Museum during the conference are included in the appendix.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Number of pages: 160 Size: 18,5 × 24,5 cm. In Italian. With the fifth issue of the interdisciplinary project Knowing, Conserving, Sharing , the reports of recent restorations carried out by the Ethnological Material Restoration Laboratory see the light of day. The restoration work concerns artworks pr…eserved in the Ethnological Collection of the Vatican Museums and it is lead in a constant search for a balance between preservation and care for the millenary traditional expression of original cultures and the western approach to conservation. The focus of this volume, available in Italian, is the conservation of Oriental lacquers: an experience that has also allowed the Laboratory to devote itself to the study of traditional techniques for the creation of objects, with the aim of defining the correct conservation practices for each individual artefact. The artefacts examined here are a rare Thai dance crown of Burmese manufacture, a Chinese poly-lobed box in carved red lacquer, an ancient Chinese specimen of a Songzi Guanyin statuette, and a statue of Amida Nyorai from Japan. Each report describes the results of the diagnostic analyses and document the phases of restoration; a rich iconographic apparatus and a brief bibliography accompany each one of them. The volume concludes with an appendix edited by the Cabinet of Scientific Research, in which materials and methods of investigation are illustrated.
