Abstract:   (1021 Views)
The conservation and restoration of historical and cultural artifacts in Iran are increasingly recognized as important fields of study. Among these, the conservation and restoration of wooden artifacts remain underexplored. The treatment of artifacts damaged by mechanical, chemical, and biological factors must be informed by prior studies to minimize the effects of these destructive influences. The Jameh (gathering) Mosque of Gorgan, a significant historical building from the Islamic era, contains many valuable decorations and artifacts, including its distinguished wooden pulpit (minbar). This pulpit, based on surviving documents, is believed to date back to the Timurid period and features intricate lattice work (gereh-chini) and wood carving (monabbat-kari), which greatly enhance its historical significance.  The main objectives of this research are to understand the construction techniques used for the mosque's pulpit and to analyze the physical and chemical composition of the materials employed. To achieve these objectives, methodologies including documentation, microscopic examinations, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis were utilized.
Keywords: Gorgan Jame Mosque, Wooden Pulpit (Minbar), Technique Analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.
