Abstract: | This thesis is about the analysis of twelve wooden caskets covered with leather and metal mountings belonging to the collection of the Museum Schnütgen in Cologne and includes three thematic priorities. In the first part all materials used on the objects shall be identified by different analysing methods followed by the art-historical classification (and the limitation of these methods) of the objects. The last part of the thesis contains an exemplary restoration treatment of the object C4 and a list of typical damage patterns, which occur at this special series of objects, including a general conservation concept. |
