DISCUSSION: “From monumental tomb paintings to delicate ivories, ancient
Egyptian objects are some of the most complex and fragile encountered by
archaeologists, curators and conservators. Those who examine, analyse and
treat them face a number of practical and ethical challenges. This volume
of papers, by an international group of experts, focuses on decorated
surfaces including polychrome wood, coloured basketry, patinated metal and
painted textile. Aspects of technology, investigation and treatment are
examined, as well as broader issues of preservation, storage and display.
A comprehensive review of past and current treatments for organic objects
is followed by thought provoking case studies, technical surveys and
innovative solutions to conservation problems. Wide-ranging, authoritative
and accessible, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with
the study and care of ancient Egyptian objects”.

illustrations.
