금동은제식리는 무령왕릉에서 출토된 무령왕의 식리로 결실된 부분이 많아 재조사의 필요성이 꾸준히 제기되었다. 이에 과학적인 보존처리 및 분석을 진행하여 제작기법을 연구하였다. 보존처리는 형태 복원 및 편 접합에 중점을 두고 실시하였다. 그 결과, 우측 식리 상연과 뒤축 일부 편을 접합하여, 결합방법 및 발등 결합에 사용된 원두정의 개수를 확인하였다. 성분 분석결과, 외판 등은 순동에 수은 아말감 금도금을 한 것으로 추정되며, 내판은 순은을 사용하였다. 금동은제식리의 주문양은 봉황문, 연화문, 6엽 화문이며, 전체적으로 연화문의 비율이 높다. 각 판의 결합은 영락사, 금동사, 원두정, 사면정을 사용하였다. 내·외판 결합은 영락사를 사용하였는데, 내측판의 중앙과 후면에는 금동사로만 결합하여 장식 기능과 결합 기능을 구분하여 사용한 것으로 추정된다. 또한 제작과정에서 금동제판과 은제판의 외면에는 광쇠질한 흔적이 확인되지만, 은제판의 내면에서는 확인되지 않아 내면보다 외면의 마무리에 중점을 둔 것으로 추정된다.
The gilt-bronze-and-silver shoes, excavated from the Tomb of King Muryeong, revealed many defective parts, which constantly raised in-depth re-investigation and reporting. In that point, scientific treatment and analysis were conducted to investigate the manufacturing techniques applied. The conservation treatment was carried out with an emphasis on the restoration of the original form and joining parts. As a result, the upper part of the right shoe and some part of the back heel were joined, confirming the joining method and the number of rivet used for instep bonding. From the component analysis, it is presumed that the outer plate was gilded with mercury amalgam on pure copper, and pure silver was used for the inner plate. The main pattern of the gilt-bronze-and-silver shoes includes designs of phoenix, lotus, and six-petal flower, while the lotus pattern is high in terms of ratio. Thus, youngnaksa(twisted gilt-bronze thread), geumdongsa(gilt-bronze thread), wondujeong (rivet), and samyeonjeong(quadrangular cleats) were used for bonding each plate. Twisted gilt-bronze thread was used to join the inner and outer plates, while the center and rear of the inner plate were combined with only gilt-bronze threads. From the fact, it is presumed that the joining method was different whether the function was decoration or just bonding. Regarding the manufacturing process, traces of burnishing were confirmed on the outer surface of the gilt-bronze and silver shoes, but no burnishing traces were identified on the inner surface of the silver plate, which is likely to prove more importance put on the finishing of the outer plates rather than that of the inner.
