| Abstract: | Within the framework of the present thesis, a technological analysis of a late medieval reliquary was conducted. The findings on both, the original material and object alterations durig the history of the reliquary, served as a basis for the development of a concept for conservation and restoration. This concept was carried out on sample fields. Specific feature of the work was the complex material combination of the object which also required dealing with materials foreign to the subject. The middle part of the reliquary shows more than 100 relics in 47 trays protected by painted side panels. Unavailable to the public for many years, the object will in the future be situated in Oberwesel, its suposed point of origin. |
