| Zusammenfassung: | The present paper deals with the extensive investigation of an Egyptian child mummy and reflections about its conservation and restoration. The object is dated in the Hellenistic or Roman Period. So the materials used are specified and observed in connection with the determined age to support the dating. Besides the documentation of the materials, the composition is examined under technological, artistic and cultural aspects. Furthermore a digital reconstruction of the fragmentarily preserved paint is made. An undocumented conservation of the object could also be revealed. The fragile condition of the child mummy is recorded and the potential causes of the damages are illustrated. Based on the gained information, considerations relating to appropriate methods are undertaken. The treatments especially focus on the object´s exhibition outside from Europe and the associated stress through the transportation. The methods not only include conservation and restoration to ensure the material, such as cleaning, setting down certain textile areas and the consolidation, but also concentrate on preventive recommendations. Thus an adequate construction to support the mummy is essential to guarantee its continuing preservation. |
