ENWhen travelling in Egypt in 1934, the Egyptologist Marija Rudzinskaitė Arcimavičienė bought a sarcophagus lid found in the Temple of Pharaoh Hatchepsut in Deirel- Bahari at the end of the 19th century and brought it to Lithuania. Both the inner and outer sides of the sarcophagus of Udjarenese were polychromed. Before choosing the conservation method, the materials of the sarcophagus lid were examined. While combining micro-chemical qualitative analysis, optical microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction analysis and the Raman spectroscopy methods, painting materials were identified, the structure of polychromy was studied and documented, and the technological features of the lid were characterised. At the same time, a conservation methodology was developed. The lid was assembled from seven Ficus sycomorus wooden planks of different width and configuration interconnected with wooden pegs. On both sides gaps between the planks were puttied with a brownish mass in whose composition sand containing calcite, ankerite and Fe (III) compounds was established. The outside and the inside of the sarcophagus were polychromed differently. Linen cloth was glued to the wood and primed with ground, which also performed the function of white paint. The performed tests showed that the chemical composition of white priming and the brownish mass was the same; however, the quantitative ratio of the materials that influenced the colour differed. There was no linen inside the sarcophagus. The gaps between the planks were also puttied with a brownish mass; it was also used to make the entire surface of wood even, and was covered with white priming. The composition of the brownish mass and white priming was the same as that of the outside. [...]. [From the publication]
