The Stone Gates of the Royal Palace in Patan (Nepal): A Peculiar Cleaning Problem Solved by the use of Laser
Abstract eng: The paper reports on the conservation treatment of one of the stone gates of the Royal Palace in Patan (Nepal). The stone mineralogical and petrographic characteristics are described, along with the major forms of decay. Short historical information on the Palace is given as well. The most difficult part of the conservation treatment was the removal of a thick layer of bitumen, applied in the past, which disfigured the finely carved panels. After several unsatisfactory trials with organic solvents, the cleaning was accomplished by the use of an Nd Y laser equipment by the Italian El.En Group Florence. AG
