Physical Description: Decorative Detail
Note: Stylistic info: Colombia, per R.G. Cooke. Colombia (Muisca culture?) per E.G. Howe (23 July 2007): as-cast, very rough. Alot of surface bubbles. Votive purpose. Usually, if Muisca, monodimensional, flat figures, often alot of wax wire on top. by its shape, decorative style and color effects.
Technique: Fabrication Method
cast Note: Raw as-cast surface - casting blips, surface irregularities, dendrites, surface not worked, no tool marks. Assume lost wax cast, with many openings that link core and investment. Core (black, grainy, fine) is intact (EGH hasn't seem core / usually flat). Casting flaws and deliberate openings reveal this material (where there was never metal) - so not subsurface corrosion. Looks more like clay.
Treatment: Conservation Performed
Note: 2007: Surface cleaned/degreased with acetone on cotton swab, avoiding resin patch with acc.#. Previous treatment info: lavado Canasol 21 Nov 1995
