Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms-Universität and the LVR-LandesMuseum, both in Bonn, have together initiated a research project to address several questions concerning colour applied to ivories in the Middle Ages. The objectives of this project are, first, to evaluate non-destructive methods to analyse pigments and binders on ivory, and secondly to determine if a unified approach to ivory polychromy, notably on technical grounds, existed in the Middle Ages.
