Textile Specialty Group Postprints Volume 26, 2016 vi DISSOCIATION RISKS: THE CONSERVATION OF TWO ABORIGINAL FIGURINES AND THEIR TEXTILES NICOLE CHARLEY AND JEAN DENDY ABSTRACT—Th is article discusses the conservation treatment of fragile tunics worn by two 19th century Huron or Wendat fi gurines. Consolidation via ultrasonic misting was investigated for the tunic on the fi rst fi gurine. Th ough examples of this treatment method used on textiles were not encountered in the literature, with the encouragement and collaboration of colleagues from other disciplines, a number of consolidants in aqueous solutions were tested. A treatment protocol using a 0.25% w/v solution of Aquazol 200/Methocel A15C in a 1:1 ratio was developed. Th e treatment of the second fi gurine used what was initially designed to be a temporary facing method—a homemade pressure-sensitive tape of Hollytex coated with Lascaux 360HV adhesive—as a permanent backing and mending tissue. Th e fi nal part of the article discusses an important conservation issue: risk of dissociation of Aboriginal objects from their cultural context is increased in museum collections. Conservators have a responsibility to contribute as much as possible to the history and identifi cation of these objects through current analytical methods, treatment, and documentation practices. RESUMEN—Este artículo discute el tratamiento de conservación de las túnicas frágiles de dos fi guritas Huron o Wendat del siglo XIX. Se investigó la consolidación por nebulización ultrasónica para la túnica de la primera fi gurita. Aunque en la literatura no se encontraron ejemplos de este método de tratamiento utilizado con textiles, con el apoyo y la colaboración de colegas de otras disciplinas, se probaron varios adhesivos en soluciones acuosas. Se desarrolló un protocolo de tratamiento utilizando una solución al 0,25% p/v de Aquazol 200/Methocel A15C en una relación 1:1. El tratamiento de la segunda fi gurita usó lo que inicial- mente fue diseñado como un método de enfrentamiento temporal—una cinta adhesiva casera de Hollytex con el adhesivo Lascaux 360HV—como un material permanente de refuerzo y reparación. La parte fi nal del artículo discute un importante problema de conservación: el riesgo de disociación de los objetos aborígenes de su contexto cultural aumenta en las colecciones de museos. Los conservadores tienen la responsabilidad de contribuir tanto como sea posible a la historia e identifi cación de estos objetos a través de los métodos analíticos actuales, el tratamiento y las prácticas de documentación. 1. INTRODUCTION In 2006, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec City acquired a set of rare Aboriginal fi gurines. Th e treatment of two of these fi gurines, numbers 2006.413 and 2006.414, will be discussed. Th e fi gurines will be referred to by their abbreviated accession numbers, 413 and 414. Th e article will also discuss the “dissociation risks” from cultural contexts that First Nations objects, such as these fi gurines, are facing in museum collections. Both fi gurines (fi g. 1) are constructed with heads and torsos roughly carved from a single piece of wood. Th e arms and legs are articulated at the shoulders and hips. Both fi gurines have metal armbands and metal headbands. Th e tops of the heads are cut fl at, and remnants of feathers can still be observed there. Simple facial features are carved and then painted; the backs of the heads are also painted in black, presumably to represent hair. Both fi gurines are adorned in untanned leather moccasins and woolen leggings. Simple tunics complete the outfi ts—unbleached cotton tabby for fi gurine 413, while fi gurine 414’s is of printed cotton. Th e cords tied around the waist of each fi gurine are not thought to be original. DISSOCIATION RISKS: THE CONSERVATION OF TWO ABORIGINAL FIGURINES AND THEIR TEXTILES Fig. 1. Left : fi gurine 414, and right: fi gurine 413, before treatment. Th ere is very little historical information extant for these fi gurines. It was believed that they might have been made to represent two Huron-Wendat individuals newly converted to the Catholic Church by Jesuit missionaries. 2. ANALYSES In an attempt to identify the metals used, the headband on fi gurine 414 was analyzed using a portable Innov-X Model 440 ED-XRF spectrometer (Moyle 2014). Since the surface area of the band was so small, it was diffi cult to defi nitively quantify the metals present. According to the results, the analyzed metal is mostly iron with trace quantities of tin and lead, which indicates either tinned sheet iron (in this case, the lead present would likely have been used as a soldering or brazing material), or terne sheet (iron plated with lead-tin alloy). X-radiography revealed the presence of radiopaque pigments, likely lead-based, on the lips of both fi gurines and on the cheeks of fi gurine 413. Dyes and mordants from the printed tunic and leggings of fi gurine 414 were analyzed by GC-MS, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR, polarized light microscopy, and SEM/EDS (Poulin 2012).

  • Exploring Plant Dyes Overview: Nature Presents an Incredible Visual Rainbow
    Exploring Plant Dyes Overview: Nature presents an incredible visual rainbow. For centuries, people have captured these natural hues for decorating animal skins, fabrics, crafts, hair, and bodies. Dyeing with plants can provide an intriguing lens for exploring the local environment, learning science concepts, conducting experiments, learning about history and other cultures, and creating compelling crafts. Grade Level/Range: K- 8th Objective: Students will investigate the use of plants to create natural dyes, experimenting with different dyeing methods and a variety of plant materials. Time: 1 hour to 4 days Materials: • Pounded Flower Prints: fresh flowers and leaves, rubber mallet, white or light-colored cotton fabric, safety goggles, wax paper, newspaper • Sun-Brewed Dye Bath: Distilled water or pre-measured tap water that has been allowed to sit uncovered for a day or two to allow chlorine to evaporate; various fibers (wool, cotton, silk, linen; fabric or yarn); glass pint jars with lids; alum* (aluminum potassium sulfate from a pharmacy, craft store, or spices section of grocery store); plastic wrap; paper towels; plastic or wooden spoons • Stovetop Dye Bath: Various plant materials, large enamel pot, hotplate or stovetop, large wooden spoon or spatula, alum*, cream of tartar* (available in spices section of grocery store), fabric or yarn, cheesecloth or nylon stockings *Note: Alum and cream of tartar are used as mordants. These are substances that act as fixatives to chemically attach or “set” the dye to the material being colored. Background Information: Since prehistoric times, humans from across the globe have used plant pigments to enrich their lives. Historians and scientists believe that prehistoric animal skins and cave paintings dating back to 15,000 B.C.

  • Women's Clothing in the 18Th Century
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions A Peek Inside Mrs. Derby’s Clothes Press: Women’s Clothing in the 18th Century In the parlor of the Derby House is a por- trait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, wearing her finest apparel. But what exactly is she wearing? And what else would she wear? This edition of Pickled Fish focuses on women’s clothing in the years between 1760 and 1780, when the Derby Family were living in the “little brick house” on Derby Street. Like today, women in the 18th century dressed up or down depending on their social status or the work they were doing. Like today, women dressed up or down depending on the situation, and also like today, the shape of most garments was common to upper and lower classes, but differentiated by expense of fabric, quality of workmanship, and how well the garment fit. Number of garments was also determined by a woman’s class and income level; and as we shall see, recent scholarship has caused us to revise the number of garments owned by women of the upper classes in Essex County. Unfortunately, the portrait and two items of clothing are all that remain of Elizabeth’s wardrobe. Few family receipts have survived, and even the de- tailed inventory of Elias Hasket Derby’s estate in 1799 does not include any cloth- ing, male or female. However, because Pastel portrait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, c. 1780, by Benjamin Blythe.

  • Adventures of a Nepali Frog Kanak Mani Dixit Illustrations by Subhas Rai
    ADVENTURES OF A NEPALI FROG KANAK MANI DIXIT ILLUSTRATIONS BY SUBHAS RAI An excitable young frog from Kathmandu Valley, “just out of his tadpole teens”, decides to travel through his country. Bhaktaprasad Bhyaguto goes where no frog has gone before. He rides a tin can downriver, treks past majestic peaks, rides porter-back, mule-back and yak-back to remote villages, arid hops across a good part of Nepal before returning to Kathmandu in an airline pilot’s shirt pocket. This description of Bhaktaprasad’s adventures through Nepal’s mountains, hills and plains presents authentic landscapes and unique characters. It brings Nepal to life for the young readers, and helps build empathy for the creatures, including humans, that inhabit the Nepali countryside. Bhaktaprasad: a name common in Nepal Bhyaguto: ‘frog’ in the Nepali language Rato Bangala Kitab is the publishing wing of Rato Bangala School in Kathmandu Valley. This book is part of our effort to provide the children of Nepal with readings specific to their country and society. We also hope it will help inform a larger audience of young readers about life and times in this corner of South Asia. KATHMANDU CALLING Bhaktaprasad Bhyaguto was a young Kathmandu frog, barely out of his tadpole teens. He lived with his grandfather Buddhiprasad, mother Sanomaiya, sisters and brothers in a rice terrace by the village of Ichangu, on a hillside behind the great stupa of Swayambhu. Like all froggies his age, Bhaktaprasad was a curious amphibian, but only more so. He was the quickest to learn to hop among his brood, and had lately taken to venturing out of the muddy paddies and unto the path used by humans that went down the hill.
