Preliminary assessment
on the state of conservation |
| The whole surface appears uniformly covered with
a patina of honey color, probably fruit of a preceding protective
intervention based on wax that has suffered a chromatic alteration.
The face of the statue is the more altered part, infact are present many interventions of restauration that consists in stucco and reconstruction of some parts like for instance the cheek and the nose. Again cause of the preceding intervention of restauration is present in any points of the face patinas of yellowish color, these are visible in all the parts previously assembled and stuccoed (neck, shoulders, elbow and left wrist, left knee). The statue isn't of the same period, infact the head, probably of the Roman period, has been assembled to a bust of Renaissance period. It is visible their attack at the height of the neck. The left hand is lacking of his finger index. |

Restoration plan
|
After a preliminary cleaning with a brush to
soft bristle to remove the superficial incoherent deposits, has
been proceeded with small proofs of cleaning with carbonate of ammonium
and cotton with final aim to give a chromatic uniformity to the
statue. |
