Zusammenfassung: The object of the Bachelor thesis is a two part Koran stand from Isfahan which is presumably to be dated the 19th century (consideration of similar comparative objects in the ethnological museum of Berlin-Dahlem and in the state museum for ethnology Munich museum Five continents). The surface of the Koran stand is decorated with a tessellated marquetry, called khatam-kari, and shows in the insides of the lower thighs paintings.

The Bachelor thesis will deal with art-historical and technological considerations to provide afterwards a restoration draught. The Koran stand has broken in the interlacing,a very typical crack of two-part Koran stands, and was glued several times at this point. It is an old crack in whose break edges several layers of glue can be found.

The restoration draught will deal with the problems of the crack to develop a suitable method, to join the single sides again to a whole. This will be the superficial consideration, because in the present state the religious principle of a Koran stand is not given, namely the diversity of the forms created by God and phenomena in the unity of the object anymore and shows a sensitive loss. The decrease in several layers thickly of angry and presumably modern origin of resultant glue in the crack of the interlacing is necessary also. This measure is essential, so that the single parts of the Koran stand can be joined again.
