Abstract

This investion studies the manufacturing techniques of chimi(ridge-end roof tiles based on the) fragments excavated from the Wonju Beopcheonsa temple site(Historic site No. 466) and aids in the conservation of the fragments. The results of the investigation are categorized into the production of the body parts, the wing and the feather attachment, the production of the decorative parts, the scratches in the upper and lower part, the perforations connecting the upper and lower parts, and the formative features(bending phenomenon). The procedures in the conservation treatment of the chimi was performed in a sequential order beginning with a preliminary examination, followed by the removal of foreign substances, coating, joining and restoration, and color retouching. A three-dimensional scanning data was employed to restore the missing parts after adhesion to determine the location, size, and angle of the original shape. The restored chimi measures 118 cm in height and weighs 121 kg, which makes it the fifth largest in size among any chimi(including restored) in Korea. We expect that the pointed feathers will make the chimi from the Beopcheonsa temple site a rare reference as no specimens with these features have been found in Korea until now.

원주 법천사지(사적 제466호)에서 파편 상태로 출토된 치미의 제작기법을 조사하고 보존처리(복원)를 진행하였다. 치미의 제작기법 조사 결과는 동체부 제작, 날개부와 깃 부착, 장식부 제작, 상·하단 사절흔, 상·하단 연결을 위한 투공, 조형적 특징 등으로 나누어 서술하였다. 보존처리는 예비조사, 이물질 제거, 강화처리, 접합 및 복원, 색맞춤 순서로 진행하였다. 특히 접합 후 결손 부위의 원형 복원을 위해 3차원스캐닝 데이터를 활용하여 위치, 크기, 각도 등을 추정하였다. 복원한 치미는 높이 118 cm, 무게 121 kg에 이르는 대형 치미로서 이는 국내 완형(복원) 토제 치미 중 5번째로 큰 크기이다. 또한 깃이 뾰족한 형태의 치미는 현재까지의 국내에 알려진 유사 사례가 없어 희귀한 자료가 될 것으로 예상한다.
