摘要:Abstract
“Juno Enyedi” is a marble statue of a seated woman that was entrusted as a loan to the Museum of Fine Arts in
Budapest, in 2008. At this time, a thorough restoration of the statue was carried out, and thus it became possible
to perform archaeometric analyses. Samples were taken from the body, as well as several of its extensions. In
order to determine the provenance of the marble, X-ray diffraction and stable isotope analyses were performed.
In addition – whenever the sample sizes were large enough – polarizing and cathodoluminescence microscopy
analyses on thin sections were carried out. The investigations proved that the “Juno Enyedi” is composed of at
least three kinds of marble. In accordance with the research of H. W. Müller in the 1990’s, the analysis showed
conclusively that the body is composed of dolomitic marble from Thasos. Further, new results indicate that the
extensions were made from two types of calcitic marbles. Considering the observations made by H. R. Goette,
two distinct phases of restoration can be distinguished in the history of the statue.
