국립김해박물관(國立金海博物館) 개관(開館) 전시유물 보존처리 보고(報告)

Report on the Conservation Treatment for the Artifacts Exhibited in the newly-opened Kimhae National Museum

국립김해박물관의 개관을 위해 전시유물 200여점을 보존처리 하였다. 처리유물은 대부분 고분출토품이며 재질은 금동, 은, 구리합금제, 철제 등 금속유물이 주종을 이루고 있다. 모두 고대 가야문화를 대표하는 문화재들이다. 유물은 상태에 따라 처리방법을 달리했다. 구리합금제 유물은 부식물의 안정성에 따라 보존과 제거를 결정했다 특히 철제품의 경우 현재 안정한 상태의 유물은 물리적인 방법으로 이물질을 제거해 원형을 찾고 방녹제[상품명:Ballistol]를 이용해 부식을 예방하는데 중점을 두었다. 부식이 진행중인 유물은 원인제거를 위해 2단계 탈염처리를 했다. 제 1단계는 0.3M NaOH 용액함침, 제 2단계는 붕사-증류수 가압탈염법이다. 이밖에 전시를 위한 특수 받침대제작 및 각종 전시보조물인 모형 등에 대한 수정작업도 지원했다.

More than 200 objects selected for the newly-opened Kimhae National Museum were treated for conservation. The objects which represent ancient Kaya culture, were mainly composed of metallic such as gilt bronze, silver, copper alloy and iron. The corrosion products on gilt bronze and copper alloy objects were preserved or removed according to their stability. Minimum treatment was done for preserving the original state of the objects. For silver objects and iron objects with silver-plate decorations, silver surfaces were revealed after treatment of corrosion products and treatments to prevent corrosion of silver and iron were done emphatically. For iron objects, which were stabilized, the original shape of objects was restored and acrylic coating was applied to prevent further corrosion. For the objects which were being corroded, 2-step de-chloride treatments were undertaken. The first step was immersing the objects in a solution of 0.3M sodium hydroxide and the second was the pressure de-chloride treatment using borax-distilled water. The main purpose of those treatments was to get rid of the causes of corrosion. Besides, conservation treatments for potteries, making of special mounting board for exhibition and amendment of various modeling were done too.
