Quote: " It appears that the damage was inflicted by a pointed tool some years ago and although the incision is not deep, dirt that accumulated in the affected area makes it very visible. Obviously in order to remove it the principle of minimum intervention would be compromised, but considering how sensitive the space is and how offensive the symbol is, removing it appears sensible. "
How about making a tinted fill that matches the alabaster? It would make the offensive symbol almost invisible to most visitors, yet would respect the integrity of the object. ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to [email protected] Archives through August 2016 at http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/ Archives from September 2016 onward at https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
