Conservation-Restoration Treatment and Making of a Copy of Late 19th c. Dubrovnik Area Shoes from the Etnographic Museum in Dubrovnik

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je konzervatorsko-restauratorski zahvat proveden na paru cipela s Dubrovačkog područja datiranih u kasno 19.st. i izrada njegove kopije. Cipele pripadaju zbirci Etnografskog muzeja u Dubrovniku i jedini je sačuvani primjer ovog tipa cipela u zbirci. U ovom radu će, osim samog zahvata i izrade kopije biti obrađena i problematika konzervacije-restauracije predmeta izrađenog od više različitih materijala, ali i problematika vezana uz slabu istraženost etnografske obuće, pogotovo svečane etnografske obuće, te nepostojanje službene terminologije za ovo područje. Cilj ovog rada je skretanje pozornosti na ovaj vrijedan tip predmeta kulturne baštine i važnost njegova očuvanja kroz obradu konkretnog primjera.The topic of this master thesis is conservation-restoration treatment carried out on a pair of late 19th century shoes from Dubrovnik area and their copy making.
