Abstract
In this work different aspects of conservation-restoration are approached from the successive interventions carried out in an Attic red-figure bell crater of the National Archaeological Museum, from the necropolis of Tútugi (Galera, Granada). When the author of this work restored it in 1998, she detected at least four previous performances from different periods - Iberian times, 1917, 1930s and 1970s of the last century - that have been identified, described and chronologically located from direct examination of the piece and of an exhaustive documentary and bibliographic study.
In 2015, the 1998 restoration process was resumed and an evaluation of the current state of conservation and the criteria adopted was carried out.
Given the peculiar characteristics of this object for the history of restoration, all previous treatments will also be reviewed, trying to apply a classification of old restorations and a proposal of intervention criteria previously designed by the author.
Finally, a proposal for action is presented to replace a part of the reintegration, the entire foot, which it lacked. At the time, plaster was used for its construction and it has currently been considered that this material does not have enough resistance and stability to exercise its support function, in addition to other fundamentally aesthetic issues.
