Handbag - "Tobolac" from the Collection of Ethnographic Museum in Dubrovnik: Specific Restoration Issues Concerning a Multilayered Object with a Complex Construction

This master thesis focuses on the complete conservation-restoration work of an ethnographic handbag – tobolac from the collection of the Ethnographic museum in Dubrovnik. The handbag holds the inventory number DUM EM 1131/10 and belongs to the collection of folk costumes of the Dubrovnik littoral and Elafiti as a part of the festive women's ceremonial costume of the Adriatic type – „crna laneta“, dating to the second half of the 19th century. The goal of this conservation-restoration work was to document the object, consolidate the existing damage and slow down further degradation of the object. The multi-layered construction of the object influenced the number of different methods applied during the conservation-restoration work.. During the conservation-restoration work there were three key areas that have proved to be particularly interesting and challenging: those areas are the investigation and the documentation of the construction of the handbag, the consolidation of original materials, and selection of the appropriate storage/exhibition methods.
