Khatam Kari is one of the traditional Iranian arts with a long history, and numerous works of this art have survived ‎from past eras. Considering the limited technical studies on these works, their study plays an important role in better ‎understanding the process of making Khatam in the past. The diversity of Khatam materials and their different ‎reactions to conservation methods have a great impact on adopting the optimal conservation and treatment ‎method. As a result, identifying their constituent materials will be necessary to choose the correct method of dealing ‎with this type of works. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is one of the methods that can be used to ‎identify the nature of the organic materials that make up the khatam. Therefore, in this study, the khatam door ‎khatam of the Seyyed Mosque of Isfahan from the Qajar period was examined as a case study. For this purpose, ‎FTIR spectroscopy was used to investigate the structure and identify the materials used in its construction. The ‎results showed that the red-brown and black pieces in this khatam sample are made of wood and the white pieces ‎are made of bone. Also, Animal Glue was used as an adhesive in wrapping the khatam and lining it, and a mixture ‎containing terpenoid resins was used to finish and coat the khatam‏ ‏.
