CONSERVATION OF THE MARBLE STATUE OF THE GODDESS CYBELE IN THE COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM IN WARSAW

The prime difficulty encountered during the conservation of the classical statue of the goddess Cybele was the removal of secondary stratification from its surface. Some, such as the silicate-calcite stratification, were harder than the marble out of which the statue had been executed. The application of laser beams proved to be a much more effective alternative to chemical and physical methods. The laser technique facilitated cleaning the marble surface while preserving the patina, a procedure impossible in the case of traditional methods. The supplementation of missing fragments used thermoplastic putties based on modified Paraloid B-72. This modification made it feasible to lower the temperature rendering Paraloid B-72 more flexible to a level lower than 100°C, safe for the crystalline structure of the marble.
