<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2889681, member: 1765&quot;]Ancients bronzes are not the same as modern or even 300 year old copper.&nbsp; Curation has to be approached differently.&nbsp; [USER=87186]@LaCointessa[/USER] seems to know her stuff (or has convinced me that she does) and I would be inclined to follow her advice, which is more in line with archaeological conservation than simply removing surface contaminants from a metal surface.&nbsp; Even just the concept of a metal surface typically doesn&#039;t apply very well to these.&nbsp; Perhaps ancient and modern gold are handled similarly, but 2000 year old bronze is a different beast.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
