PERSPECTIVES ON THE RESTORATION-CONSERVATION OF SOME CULT OBJECTS, THEIR COMPOSITION AND LITURGICAL AND SYMBOLIC DESTINATION

Summary/Abstract: The study presents a few altar objects that recently entered the collection of the museum, which were recuperated with similar artefacts of the wooden church from Hapria, deallocated in 2006 due to its severe deterioration. There are reviewed procedures of restoration-conservation to which the vigil lamps, censer and incense box were subjected to, as well as the way of reconstructing the constitutive elements that disappeared over time. In addition, the composition of the metal or alloy from which the pieces were made is referred to, taking as guiding marks interesting and useful information mentioned by some parish „chronicles” from the second half of the XIXth century, as well as from the history of metallurgy. Finally, there are revealed a few aspects concerning the symbolistim of analysed cult pieces and the substances used together with them along the officiation of the priestly ritual.
