Abstract: (600 Views)
Textiles, akin to other organic materials, possess significant historical and cultural backgrounds. Their conservation and restoration have consistently been among the most critical concerns for specialists in this field, particularly in recent decades. This heightened focus on conservation may be attributed to the cessation of production for certain types of textiles in recent years—textiles that also hold considerable cultural heritage. Given their organic nature, textiles are rarely encountered in archaeological findings and have consequently received less attention compared to other artifact categories.This research focuses on developing a conservation proposal for a section of the entrance curtain (parde) of the Kaaba, an artifact of considerable cultural, political, social, and artistic significance. Through investigating the raw materials of this artifact and proposing an appropriate methodology for preserving its current structure, this study aims to both document its structure and safeguard this precious intangible heritage. Furthermore, it seeks to propose a suitable strategy for the preservation and presentation of such artifacts, thereby contributing to the preservation of shared artistic, intellectual, and cultural values among nations. Utilizing a comparative study and laboratory analyses via SEM and FTIR, various technological aspects of the artifact were examined. Subsequently, by identifying deteriorating factors and existing damages, a tailored conservation proposal commensurate with the artifact's condition was formulated. As this fragment is an intricately worked piece from the entrance curtain of the Kaaba, and one of eleven fragments donated to Iran over many years, it is hoped that this proposal can serve as a guideline for the conservation and restoration of other existing fragments of this artifact housed in other museums.
