Moche Stirrup Spout Before Treatment (69.1.3)
As part of the care of the collections, fine art, artifacts, rare books and other materials occasionally need to be sent to specialists for treatment.
During the Spring 2012 semester seven objects from Bryn Mawr College’s art and artifact collections were sent to the Conservation Center at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts for conservation treatment. The images shown here are of a Moche vessel treated by one of the graduate students at the Conservation Center of New York University.

Additionally four Greek pots from the Archaeology collections were conserved during the Spring and Summer of 2012 by Julie Baker, a local objects conservator with the Art Conservator’s Alliance.
Objects recently treated will be on display in Canaday Library on the Second Floor
beginning in September 2012.
