| Abstract: | This paper presents the concept of the consolidation and conservation of a modern glass-beaded velvet bonnet excavated in 2002 from the grave of a female individual in the Thaldorf cemetery, Germany. The bonnet is in an unsuitable condition for long-term storage, due to ground storage as well as flood damage in the storage rooms in 2013. Therefore, a concept for the consolidation and conservation will be developed after a detailed object survey and scientific examination. In this context, particular attention will be paid to the discrepancy between the cleaning required by the conservation approach and the associated risks to the fragile materials. Since the areas to be worked on are located under and inside the lying bonnet, a way to reach them safely will be worked out. After discussing this problem, the conservational and restorative measures are planned and a recommendation is made for suitable storage conditions. |
