Abstract

Conservation

The Lurs from Ulvkær arrived at the Conservation Department of the National Museum in many pieces of magnificent colours caused by specific corrosion circumstances. A series of scientific examinations such as pollen analysis, X-ray and X-ray flourescense was undertaken before cleaning the surface of the lurs.

The individual tubes are described in details and observations like traces of polishing, orig­inal repairs and core supporters are noted.
