Restaurarea icoanei pe sticlă Sfântul Mucenic Dimitrie
Restoration of the Icon on glass Holy Great-Martyr Demetrius

Summary/Abstract: The icon is part of the ASTRA Museum Collection. The icon on glass Holy Great-Martyr Demetrius, icon from the Valea Sebeșului or Mărginimea Sibiului, dating from the second half of the 19th century, benefited from restoration interventions within the 7th edition of the Restoration Workshop organized by the ASTRA Museum from Sibiu through the ASTRA Centre for Heritage. The existing damages were caused by the passage of time, inappropriate handling and mechanical shocks. The restoration interventions performed were determined by the precarious state of preservation of this piece. Besides the chemical and biological investigations, X-ray fluorescence analyses were performed during the event.
