Conservation of a Wooden Tomb-Marker from the Jewish Cemetery of Algarrobos in Argentina
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. State of Condition of the Wooden Tomb-Marker
3. Stages of Conservation
- (i)
- In the first application, the above-defined protective formulation was diluted with turpentine 50/50% v/v formulation/turpentine.
- (ii)
- The following two successive applications were (1) the formulation diluted 25/75% v/v formulation/turpentine and (2) protective formulation without dilution.
- (iii)
- The face of the tomb-marker without graffiti and epitaphs was first exposed to treatment. The drying time between the applications was 24 h. Once the treatment of the face was completed, it was exposed to the seven day drying phase before the treatment of the other face was started. The treatment of the face with graffiti and epitaphs was done in accordance with the same methodology.
- (iv)
- Finally, the tomb-marker was exposed to controlled conditions of temperature and humidity for three weeks to allow correct curing (sol-gel).
