FALSE DOOR OF THE PRIESTESS KHETI
Some fragments of the limestone false
door of the priestess Kheti, discovered
in 1999 in Shaft 14, have now been
stuck together with UHU Epoxy Quick.
The joints of particular fragments have
been reinforced with a putty made on
the base of Viscacid Epoxy Bauharz
Rapid (Remmers) with a filling
containing fine sand, chalk and lime
carbonate.
Several other small objects and their
fragments, made of wood or gypsum, as
well as mudbricks have also been subjected
to conservation procedures. In most cases,
they were treated with solutions of
Paraloid B-72 in acetone or toluene.
