Abstract

This study presents a method for conserving shamanistic spirits in Chiseonggwang Buddha. Scientific investigation has revealed that these spirits have been subject to degeneration as a result of severe exfoliation and pollution. The materials and preservation treatment techniques used in create these shamanistic spirits were identified through visual inspection and using appropriate scientific equipment. The different types of background paper, background material, and color pigments used in create the shamanistic spirits were analyzed using a colorimeter, stereoscopic microscope, and SEM-EDS techniques. The analysis revealed that the pulp paper was used as the background and synthetic fiber polyester as the background material. In addition, the study of the pigment revealed that the color components were all synthetic, except for red lead [Pb3O4] and oyster shell white [CaCO3]. Moreover, it was confirmed that the green pigment, identified as emerald green [Cu(C2H3O2)2.3Cu(AsO2)2], was a major component of shamanistic spirits in the late 19th century. The shamanistic spirits in Chiseonggwang Buddha were conserved by identifying raw materials and pigments through this detailed analysis.

본 연구의 목적은 박락과 오염이 심하여 보존 상태가 좋지 않은 치성광여래 무신도에 대한 과학적 조사를 기초로 보존처리를 진행한 논문이다. 연구 방법으로는 상태 조사와 과학적 장비를 이용하여 무신도의 재질과 제작 방법을 파악하였다. 사용 장비로는 색차계와 실체현미경 그리고 휴대용 현미경, P-XRF, FT-IR, SEM-EDS를 이용하여 배접지와 바탕재의 종류와 채색 안료 성분분석을 하였다. 분석결과 배접지는 펄프지, 바탕재는 합성섬유인 폴리에스테르로 확인되었다. 또한 사용 안료는 적색 안료인 연단[Red Lead, Pb3O4], 백색 안료인 호분[Oyster Shell White, CaCO3]을 제외하고 나머지는 합성안료로 확인되었다. 또한, 19세기 후반 무신도에서 주로 확인되는 녹색안료인 에메랄드그린[Emerald Green, Cu(C2H3O2)2·3Cu(AsO2)2]이 검출되었다. 이와 같은 분석을 통하여 확인된 재질 및 안료를 사용하여 치성광여래 무신도의 보존처리를 진행하여 보존하고자 하였다.
