| Sumario: | The French collections own some featherworks, four as long as we know. Two of them were the subject of an important campaign of study and restoration in 2002 : the 'Messe de Saint Grégoire" (Musée des Jacobins d'Auch) and a mexican triptych representing Christ on the cross (Musée national de la Renaissance d'Ecouen). The particularity of those artefacts implied the constitution of a multidisciplinary team. The collaboration of a support painting restorer and an ethnographic restorer, working together on the "feather mosaic", allowed to have a complementary vision on those artefacts. Our talk will present : a study of the techniques, and a comparative study of the two featherworks, a description of the degradation inherent in this type of objects, the restoration choices and the importance of preventive conservation. Many photographs will illustrate the presentation. |
