ACP1645
Buddha Descending from Tavatimsa
Treatment performed at: Winterthur Museum
Overseen by Conservators: Joyce Hill Stoner and Ellen Nigro
Nineteenth-century, Thai panel painted in water-soluble distemper, severe flaking of the surface and ground from the support caused by water damage, required reorganization of loose flakes, consolidation with BEVA and 10% Aquazol in Isopropanol, tacking down with a heat tool, and cleaning with citrate solutions in Agarose gels
​
I assisted WUDPAC student Ellen Nigro in carrying out treatment procedures that
she developed with the assistance of
conservators from the Walters Art
Museum and Winterthur Museum.
For a thorough description of the
treatments I performed on this painting,
please see 6 and 7 in the treatment report.
*Both the condition report and treatment
report were written by Ellen Nigro.
