Epimanikon, an archaeological liturgical textile item discovered at the Căpriana Monastery. Conservation and restoration

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issue of the conservation-restoration of the Epimanikon, a liturgical textile item originating from the crypt of Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni. The discovery of the remains of Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni's liturgical vestments at Căpriana Monastery, in 2016, raised specific problems as regards the conservation, research, restoration and turning to account of cultural heritage items with particular cultural and historical value. Out of all the constituent textile objects of the liturgical vestments, the left hand Epimanikon was in a severe degree of degradation. The results provided by the investigations on the nature of the constituent materials, types and nature of degradations, constituted the premises for establishing the stages of the conservation-restoration process. A support was designed for the textile item saved by conservationrestoration, in order to be turned to account in the museum, for the present and future generations.
