摘要：The wooden polychrome sculptures of a saint from the church of St. Francis of Assisi were in multiple pieces. Insect activity was also noticed at some points of wooden polychrome. The broken pieces of polychrome figure was joined with copper nails followed by filling of the voids with teak wood saw dust mixed with Araltite Carpender. Anti termite solution was injected in many parts of the polychrome figure to arrest the insect activity. Minimal colour re-integration was carried out at the joints. Finally the sculpture was chemically cleaned with the mixture of organic solvents such as Toluene, n-butane, 2-ethoxy ethanol. The wooden polychrome sculptures are in good state of preservation and has now been displayed in Goa churches. The environmental parameters were also studied and some precautionary measures to prevent the deterioration of wooden fabric by the relative humidity have also been recommended.
