The Egyptian and Japanese Mural paintings team conducted the conservation treatment on Seshem-Neferu’s mural paintings. First, the experts prepared for the fabrication of a Prototype mount for the murals of Seshem-Neferu to not only support the backside but also make them portable and easy to handle. Then, they proceeded with […]
The wood Lab team in GEM-CC is conducting non-destructive analysis on King Tutankhamen’s beds, using portable fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), fibre- optic reflectance spectroscopy (FORS) and Raman spectroscopy, these analyses were based on previous results of multi spectral technique and portable XRF spectrometer. The conservators proceeded with diagnostic analysis to […]
Conservators continued diagnostic analysis at GEM-CC for follow artifacts, using hand held XRF device, which is an elemental analysis instrument that uses X-ray fluorescence technology to identify the elements of the scanned surface, which is the mural paintings in this case. First, the team preformed non-destructive XRF analysis directly on […]
The Egyptian- Japanese conservators are working jointly to conduct the final conservation process for the mural paintings. The first stage of conserving mural paintings started with removing previous conservation mortar with Sonic cutter device provided by JICA. then, conservators proceeded with the second stage, where they apply a new mortar […]
The Grand Egyptian Museum Joint Conservation team members have completed the transportation of King Tutankhamun’s canopy. It is the last artifact to be transferred through our GEM-JC project, which is a joint project run by Grand Egyptian Museum, Ministry of Antiquities and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Aiming to jointly […]
The team members of the Wood Lab at GEM-CC are continuing diagnostic analysis on King Tutankhamen’s chariots using a high magnification digital microscope to identify the previous conservation processes that were done on the artifacts, and also identify the aspects of degradation in a non-destructive analysis. The digital microscope was […]
