손기정 기증 고대 그리스 청동제투구의 보존처리

Conservation of the Ancient Greek Bronze Helmet donated by Sohn Keechung

손기정(1912 - 2002)이 1936년 베를린 올림픽 마라톤 우승의 부상으로 받은 보물 제904호 고대 그리스 청동제투구는 보존처리 부위가 열화되어 균열과 변색이 발생하였고, 코가리개가 상단 접합 부위의 균열에 의해 아래쪽으로 쳐지게 되어 다시 보존처리하였다. 코가리개를 본체에서 분리하고, 본체와 코가리개를 안정화 및 강화처리를 한 후 다시 접합하였다. 본체의 균열 부위와 결실 부위에는 직조 유리섬유로 보강하였으며, 코가리개는 접합 후 직조 유리섬유와 Ti판을 사용하여 보강하였다. 코가리개의 충전 부위는 주변과 같이 문양을 새기고 색맞춤을 하였다.

The area of conservation treatment of the bronze helmet of the ancient Greece, treasure No. 904, which Sohn Keechung (1912 to 2002) received as an extra prize for his winning the marathon in the 1936 Berlin Olympics deteriorated and as a result crack and discoloration occurred. Its nose guard hung downward due to the crack of the bonded area of upper end. Therefore, conservation treatment of the helmet was conducted again. The nose guard was separated from the body. Stabilization and consolidation treatment of them was made and then they were joined again. The cracked and missing areas were reinforced with woven glass fibers, and the nose guard was reinforced with woven glass fibers and Ti plate after the bonding. The joined area of the nose guard was carved with the same pattern as that of the surrounding area and its color was adjusted to be the same as well.
