The aim of this paper is to study deterioration phenomena of foot case cartonnage fromSaqqara area, Egypt. There are many damage problems such as: accumulation of dust,stains, cracks of ground layer and detachment of paint and gilded layers. An analyses andinvestigations of different samples were performed using a number of different analyticaltechniques. Light microscopy (LM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDS) and Fourier transform infraredspectroscopy coupled with attenuated total reflection (ATR-FTIR) were used. Analytical studiesindicated that, cartonnage was composed of two layers; the coarse ground layer consisted ofcalcite and quartz as while the finer ground layer contained calcite only. Two layers of preparingdouble of linen textile were used as a separate layer between the previous ground layers. Thepigments used for the decoration of cartonnage were identified as hematite, cinnabar andcuprorivaite. Gilded layer was identified as gold and silver. Microbiological investigation indicatedthe presence a fungal and bacterial infestation. The results obtained gave important knowledgeabout the deterioration processes of the foot case cartonnage
