Conservation of the Rådved treasure

Abstract

Conservation of the Rådved treasure

The final excavation and conservation of the treasure was carried out at the National Museum's Department for Conservation of Archaeological Finds.

An X-ray examination was first performed.

The bronze pot contained a spherical pot with conglominated perforated pennies, same of which were contained in a purse.

In the earthenware jug there were also a number of coins, in two purses. Coins and ornaments were conserved by the same method as was used for the large coin find from Kirial, Djursland.
