The brocade with the flower and hunting pattern of the Tang Dynasty unearthed from Damago,Qira,Hotan,Xinjiang needs to be conserved and restored scientifically due to its poor condition,which includes cracking,incompleteness and creasing.Before restoration,disease investigation and condition recording were carried out.Through infrared(IR)spectrometry and observation of appearance and horizontal cross-section,it was determined that the brocade was woven with silk.The results of IR spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)show that the degree of deterioration of the warps was obviously more serious than that of the wefts.Microscopic observation results show that the fabric structure was weft brocade with a twill weave.Color values and codes of the wefts were recorded through color value measurement and color chart comparison.Possible dyestuffs used for the brocade were analyzed preliminarily based on data of high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).A plan for the conservation and restoration was formulated according to the above investigation and testing results.Considering the restoration requirement for keeping both front and back sides in their original appearance,a needle and thread stitching method was utilized to reinforce the brocade,along with an inlay-support method for building a stable storage microenvironment.After conservation and restoration,the silk threads were secure and the overall firmness of the brocade was obviously improved,making the collection,moving and display of the brocade more convenient,exactly meeting the restoration team's expectations.The entire work provides a good model for the conservation and restoration of similar cultural heritage objects in the future.
