Pieta, the conservation of which has been described in this article comes from the church under the invocation of Bishop Stanislavus in Wielgomłyny. Unfortunately no documents have survived concerning the time of the creation of the sculpture and the experts have set the date of its origin for 1400—1450. The conservation and the reconstruction of the Pieta were done by Ilia lliew and Lucjanna Młyńska from the Workshop for the Conservation of Art Works in Kielce (a branch office of the State Ateliers for the Conservation of Cultural Property). The object was in a very bad condition. Wood's structure deteriorated markedly as a result of a natural process of the material ageing, infection with insects and mechanical impairing. Apart from that, some of the details were missing. The whole structure was cracked. Polychromy .poorly preserved, was done on a chalk and gypsum base in a distemper technique. It also scaled and powdered off. Following detailed studies a conservation programme was put forward and approved then by the Commission for Conservation. According to this programme, the following treatment was carried out: — technical conservation of the original substance of the object, i.e. the removal of all secondary make-ups and their replacement with new elements in a style close to the original one; — reconstruction of missing elements based on similar presentations in, i.a., one of the churches in Wrocław; — colour merger of new details; — assembling of reconstructed elements in a way which would allow for their removal, if found necessary; — chemical protection against insects and bacteria.
