Investigarea și conservarea unui fragment de textilă arheologică din sec. al XVII-lea
Investigation and Conservation of a Archaeological Textile Fragment of the 17th Century

Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 2016 during the rescue excavations made at theCathedral of St. Mihail in Cluj-Napoca it was discovered a fragment ofarchaeological textiles, from the 17th century.The textile was sampled from the head area and is a piece of ribbon madeof golden silver yarn and silk threads. The ribbon textures reveal a decorativemotif formed by diamonds and triangles, forming a 6 mm wide repeatingmodule.Because in the present case the degraded forms of degradation did notallow for wet cleaning, it was decided to keep it for the moment in its degradedform. Removing deposits loosely attached to the textile surface was performedby repeated aspiration using the surgical vacuum cleaner, this offering thepossibility of a controlled and safe cleaning.To ensure optimal handling, storage, transport and exposure conditions, asuitable support was made for the shape and the component materials, so that theexternal factors interfere with the piece as little as possible.
