Following this, the historical classification and the investigation of the inventory are given. Additionally the techniques available for the conservation and restoration of the sword are being identified and discussed. Finally, the conception of the methods for the practical realization of the conservation of the sword is being presented. The aim of this thesis is to find methods for conserving and securing the substance of the object. |
