Zusammenfassung: Only a few ethnographic collections can come up with objects from bird skin. In particular, there are
barely clothes in the repertoire of museum exhibitions, with its production techniques given from
one generation to the next generation. Related objects out of feathered bird skin are challenging the
conservator with special conservation problems. In the past organic objects are often affected by
insect infestation and therefore they were treated preventively with inorganic and synthetic
pesticides. Their use is now widely disputed, because of the health risk for the environment. At the
object Ic.191 of the National Museum Denmark are found high pesticide levels. For this reason,
decontamination should be accomplished. Conventional cleaning methods appeared to be risky, so
the method using liquid or supercritical CO2 was given preference. With specially prepared pigeon
skins and other sample objects cleaning tests could be performed at the cleaning company Fred
Buttler Copenhagen. The cleaning results showed that the decontamination of fragile objects like
Ic.191 is not feasible yet. To make comparisons a similar object L.4994 was chosen. The production
technique and the structure of skin and feathers of the object have been analyzed and scientific
studies to the conservation status took place. Additional a damage catalog and treatment plan have
been created. The practical implementation of the conservation was held to object L.4994.
