| Abstract: | In Petronell-Carnuntum, Lower Austria, a fragmented Roman fluted silver bowl as part of a silverware ensemble was discovered in 1957. Separated from the ensemble, the fluted bowl initially came into private ownership until it was acquired by the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien in 1984. At that time the three largest fragments, which reflect the form of the bowl, were already mounted on an iron support. The aim of the conservation lies on the preservation of the object, preventing further material loss and to restore its aesthetic appearance and legibility. Through comprehensive literature research and comparing examples, dating and function are clarified and the manufacturing technique is reconstructed by means of optical examinations. A suitable conservation concept is discussed, developed and executed based on a detailed condition analysis, supported by instrumental investigation methods. The selected conservation measures and stabilization options will then be evaluated and executed. The reduction of corrosion on archaeological silver is the main Focus here. |
