The pair of lurs from Ulvkær, north Jutland

Restoration

Abstract

Restoration

The article describes a number of how roughly lurs were restored in the past, for instance by annealing, hammering out dents, and joining broken parts by means of hard soldering. The reason why these methods have been abandoned are briefly accounted for. It is furthermore described how a newly found pair of lures from Ulvkær have been prepared for exhibition without use of methods causing changes of the material and thereby endangering future research.
