TUNA EL-GEBEL
EGYPT
All the preserved paintings from the
sanctuary have now been remounted in
their original location [Fig. 3]- To mount
paintings attached to supports made of
plaster-of-Paris both the plaster and
polyurethane foam (FUROFOAM, product of
Den Braven Sealants, The Netherlands)
were used. Paintings on sandwich-type
supports were mounted with screws and
foam. The protective facing has been left in
place until the repairs on the vault will be
completed. The paintings from the ante-
room are in various stages of conservation.
Some of them, lying in several layers on the
floor in the Beit el-Serir, have to be
separated, which is a difficult task, re-
quiring further time-consuming work.
Other fragments have reached the stage of
the treatment when the intervention layer
will be applied.
