Abstract: The Master project contained the conservation supervising of the archaeological leather shoe collection of
the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. The shoes of the collection has been excavated at the beginning of the century
from in different regions in the eastern and western desert of Egypt. Since then, the archaeological
leathershoes are a part of the unique archaeological collection of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. The shoes are
on display in the same condition as they were discovered during the excavation: since centuries they are
kept flattened, deformed dirty and gross inside the showcase. Correspondingly complex is the preservation
and damage of these dried and dissociated leather shoes: hardening due to gelatinization, embrittlement
with concomitant powdering decay, fragmentation and pasty dirt crusts.
