| Abstract: | The aim of this dissertation is to discuss the problems caused by the combination of various materials for handcrafted objects using the relief of a small girl from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, as an example. Therefore, the used material, its characteristics and the manufacturing of the relief are described and examined. A list of the existing damage is given and is followed by the discussion of possible reasons for this deterioration taking the material combination into account. After this comprehensive examination a possible concept for the conservation treatment is suggested, including cleaning, consolidating and stabilizing, as well as re‐adhering and a possible gap‐filling. Important factors for these decisions are the preservation of the authenticity of the relief and the material combination. |
