Re-Discovery of a Unique Pewter Flask from Sacred Well of Santa Cristina in Paulilatino (Sardinia, Italy)
This study reports the discovery, contextualization, and archaeometric analysis of a unique metal pilgrim flask recovered from the sacred well of Santa Cristina (Paulilatino, Sardinia, Italy), a major sanctuary complex of the Nuragic period. Misidentified for several decades following its 20th-century excavation, the object has now been reinterpreted as a nearly intact, full-scale pilgrim flask manufactured from pewter—a material previously unrec…
Multiband photogrammetry for multispectral 3D reconstruction of statuary
Multi-band photogrammetry workflow for multi-spectral 3D reconstruction of ancient statuary. • Investigates original polychromy traces on ancient statuary with multi-spectral 3D imaging. • Integrated RGB, VIL, and UVL imaging captures pigment traces in 3D detail. • Non-invasive technique reveals previously hidden material details on sculptures. • Case study of the Bikini Venus statue demonstrates workflow efficacy. • Flexible workflow supports ac…
The Lord of Ucupe mask from Moche culture (Peru). A multianalytical study of the materials from the metals to the adhesive
Multianalytical Study of a Painting on Copper
The painting studied, featuring the Virgin contemplating the sleeping Child, is a well-known composition in the religious context, especially popular since the 16th century. The technique, oil on copper plate, and materials were examined applying a multimethodological non-invasive approach. The main goal was to quantitatively characterize the layer composition and thickness. To obtain them, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with Monte Carlo…
New Evidence about the Polychromy of Early Imperial Cycle from the Augusteum of Rusellae (Tuscany)
This study is concerned with recent analyses of seven marble statues from the imperial cycle of the Augusteum of Rusellae, in the south of Tuscany, Italy. The sculptures represent the deified couple Augustus and Livia, Livilla, Claudius, an anonymous young girl and a headless cuirassed emperor (maybe Domitian). In addition, a fragment of a leg, from another cuirassed statue, was also considered. All of them are preserved in the city of Grosseto, …
Chemical Characterization of Pope Pius VII Ancient Ecclesiastical Vestment by a Multi-Analytical Approach
This paper presents a multi-analytical investigation performed for the study of the ecclesiastical vestment, with insignia, of Pope Pius VII, painted from the end of the 18th up to the beginning of the 19th century, made of five clothing elements: chasuble, stole, maniple, chalice veil and purse. The aim of this research was to assess the conservation state of the silk and painted backgrounds; to define the manufacturing technique of the work; to…
Art Casting in Portuguese 19th Century Industrial Foundries
The outdoor sculpture of the first Portuguese king, D. Afonso Henriques (c. 1109–1185 AD), placed in Guimarães (North Portugal), is one of the most emblematic national sculptures. Created in 1887 by António Soares dos Reis, it possesses a remarkable symbolic value in the presumed birthplace of the king. In addition to the artistic and heritage importance of the monument, it is one of the few sculptures cast by a Portuguese industrial foundry in t…
Oplontis, 79 A.D
The so-called Villa of Poppaea in Oplontis (Torre Annunziata, Naples – also known as “Villa A”) was destroyed after the Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 A.D. It is nowadays one of the World Heritage Sites of UNESCO. The building, one of the richest in marble furnishing in the Roman world, was excavated mostly during the second half of the 20th century. In this paper, only part of the sculptures and reliefs were studied. The furnishing were analysed in si…
Revealing Mithras’ Color with the ICVBC Mobile Lab in the Museum
The National Museum of Rome has an important collection of Mithraic sculptures found in the years 1973–1975 during the archaeological excavation under the early Christian basilica of Santo Stefano Rotondo on the Caelian hill in Rome. The sculptures excavated from this Mithraeum show many traces of gilding and polychromy, whose best example is the great bas-relief with Mithras slaying the bull discussed in this work. The analysis was conducted dur…
