Abstract

The Haj Saleh Bathhouse, dating back to the Zand period, is located in the old part of Saqqez city, and its entrance is located in the city's daily market. The bathhouse is built in the Isfahan style and has unique Lime stuccowork decorations. The hunting ground motif is one of the beautiful and important Lime stuccowork motifs in this building, which has suffered a lot of damage and consists of three layers, including two layers of lime and one layer of paint. In this research, the technical identification of the materials used in the aforementioned lime layers was investigated through laboratory studies, and then the damage to the decorations was examined. The following describes the conservation and restoration operations of the hunting ground motif. At this stage, after cleaning by mechanical methods, the detached parts were attached to the support surface by injecting a mixture of gypsum slurry (dental) and 5% Plextol in water, using the cushion method, and were strengthened. Subsequently, the missing parts were restored using a mixture of plaster and 5% Plextol, and the restored parts and discoloration were balanced with watercolor. Finally, the entire surfaces were stabilized with 5% Plextol.
