감은사지 동 삼층석탑 사리장엄구의 재보존처리

Conservation of the Reliquary from the East Pagoda at Gameunsa Temple Site

국립중앙박물관이 소장하고 있는 보물 제1359호 감은사지 동삼층석탑 사리장엄구 중 금동전각형사리기의 귀꽃이 2010년 11월에 분리된 것을 계기로, 금동사리기외함을 포함하여 2점의 재보존처리를 2011년 3월부터 10월까지 수행하였다. 보존처리는 과도한 광택과 기포를 가진 코팅부위를 제거하고 인크랄락(Incralac)으로 재코팅 하는 과정과, 균열 부위와 분리된 귀꽃을 재접합 후 직조 유리 섬유로 보강하는 순서로 진행하였다. 코팅과 접착제 부위가 가진 광택과 기포를 제거할 수 없는 부위는 소광(消光) 처리와 채색을 통해 광택과 기포가 눈에 적게 띄도록 하였다.

The flower type ornament of the gilt bronze palace-type sarira reliquary among those sarira reliquaries of the East Pagoda at the Gameunssa Temple Site, which is the Treasure No. 1359 owned by the National Museum of Korea, was separated from the sarira reliquary in November 2010, thus conducting conservation treatments to be done on two items including the gilt bronze palace-type sarira reliquary during the period of March-October 2011. Those conservation treatments were carried out by following the process of removing the coated areas having excessive gross and bubbles, re-coating with Incralac, and then strengthening both the cracked areas and the separated flower-type ornaments with woven glass fiber after rejoining. For those areas where removal of gloss and bubbles at the coating and adhesive areas was not possible, the gloss and bubbles were made less perceivable through matting treatment and coloring.
