Abstract of the intervention: 

 

Restoration

The restoration was carried out as part of an ordinary teaching project by the teacher Marco Demmelbauer. 
The glass surfaces were cleaned of greasy dirt deposits with pads soaked in organic solvent. Subsequently the fragments were glued with epoxy resin, after application of a layer of acrylic resin intervention. 
Following the restoration, it was found that the object, marked by a single inventory number, is made up of fragments that are not mutually relevant.
