I did restore Gregory Maloba’s African “Blessed Virgin Mary” from the “Nativity Group” in private collection, at Mt. St. Tereza, Kisubi. 4 Restoration is the act or process of returning the artwork to its earlier condition or position. The “Head” of the Blessed Virgin Mary” had been broken because of the following: i) Gregory Maloba used clay to model the Blessed Virgin Mary. Clay has its limitations and possibilities. ii) Gregory Maloba executed this piece by making its torso hollow but the other parts of form solid. This included the “Head” that broke and has been restored. iii) The art piece (The Blessed Virgin Mary) was fired or baked in low temperature that range somewhat porous and fragile; which is earthenware. This is the terra cotta that ended with cracks in the base and neck. iv) Gregory Maloba’s art piece (“The Blessed Virgin Mary”) did not expand evenly during the firing because of the distribution weights thus, cracks and “Head” breaking and falling off.
