Abstract: (475 Views)
Each alloy, depending on its constituent metallic elements, manufacturing process, and degradation mechanisms, exhibits unique characteristics. Studying the structure and composition of museum metal artifacts assists researchers in identifying similarities and differences among objects based on various criteria, contributing to a better understanding of the evolution of historical-cultural artifact production techniques. Additionally, such studies enable the identification of internal and external causes and conditions of alloy degradation, paving the way for preventive measures to mitigate or halt deterioration. This research focuses on the technical study and damage assessment of a bronze vessel from the Samavi Collection at the Esfahan Museum of Decorative Arts. Data collection was conducted through library research, and the analogical method was employed for comparative studies. Furthermore, experimental methods including chemical tests, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and radiography were applied to the artifact. This article examines the role of each of these methods and critiques the analogical approach in comparative studies. Based on the results, the artifact is attributed to the region spanning Luristan to Syria and dated to the 7th to 8th centuries BCE. Additional findings include the approximate composition of the artifact’s elements, the use of molding and hot-working techniques in its production, and the identification of carbonate deposits.
