Abstrakt

The article reports on a conservation project carried out in the Sanctuary of the Hathor Shrine at the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari within the framework of the Polish-Egyptian Archaeological and Conservation Expedition in 2023. The project, launched this season, aims to investigate the technique and technology of Eighteenth Dynasty polychrome relief decoration in the Sanctuary and to assess the state of its preservation in order to establish an appropriate conservation approach. In addition, an appraisal of previous conservation and restoration treatments in the Hathor Shrine was conducted. Preliminary cleaning tests were also performed to aid planning further works. The research led to a preliminary identification of deterioration factors, as well as types of damage to the limestone, plaster, and painting layers. Unique in this respect were the changes in color of the polychrome decoration and limestone, likely caused by high-temperature chemical reactions.
