  • study of the elemental composition of bronze statuesfrom the collection of the pushkin museum of Fine Arts
    Nanotechnologies in Russia, 2020
    Co-Authors: Yu A Loboda, Yu E Tereschenko, V A Rastorguev, M G Tulubenskii, A M Ismagulov, E S Vaschenkova, V M Retivov, E B Yatsishina
    Abstract:

    The paper presents the results of studying 17 bronze statues from the collections of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. Analysis of the alloy composition by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry allowed to determine the basic composition of the metal and micro- and trace impurities. Comparison of the compositional data with exhibits of known authenticity, as well as with the literature data, made it possible to reFine the time periods of the statues’ production.

  • a multidisciplinary study of egyptian mummies from the pushkin state museum of Fine Arts methodical aspects
    Archaeology Ethnology and Anthropology of Eurasia, 2019
    Co-Authors: E B Yatsishina, Sergey Vasilyev, Svetlana B Borutskaya, A S Nikitin, S A Nikitin, R M Galeev, Sergey I Kartashov, Vadim Ushakov, O A Vasilieva, O P Dyuzheva
    Abstract:

    We present the results of a multidisciplinary study (the fi rst one in Russia) of nine Egyptian mummies owned by the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow), carried out at the Kurchatov Institute. A detailed description of the methods is provided. X-ray computed tomography is shown to be a highly informative non-destructive technique for studying the 3D structures of mummies. On the basis of the results, plus the conclusions of forensic experts, a detailed anthropological analysis was conducted. Mummifi cation techniques, sex, and age of all individuals were assessed. In three cases, the sex differed from that indicated in the museum inventory. Morphologically, all crania represent varieties of the Mediterranean type. One individual, however, has typically sub-Saharan features. Pathological changes concern mostly the spine and are both age-related and traumatic. In two individuals, spinal pathologies might have caused death.

  • the determination of the origin of natural bitumen in mummifying resins of ancient egyptian mummies from the collection of the pushkin museum of Fine Arts
    Fine Chemical Technologies, 2019
    Co-Authors: E B Yatsishina, Yu E Tereschenko, E S Vaschenkova, V M Retivov, O P Dyuzheva, O. A. Vasilyeva, V M Pozhidaev, Ya E Sergeeva, I S Kulikova, E I Kozhukhova
    Abstract:

    This work presents the results of a study of the resins of seven Ancient Egyptian mummies from the collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts using a complex of analytical methods: gas chromatography, atomic emission and mass spectrometry. Natural bitumen and beeswax were identified in the resins using the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry method. Based on the results of hydrocarbon distribution in the profiles of n-alkanes in the resin coatings of the mummies and naturally occurring bitumen, it was assumed that the Dead Sea bitumen was used. The gas chromatography–mass spectrometry studies of mummy resins in the selected ion mode (m/z 217 and 191) provided additional evidence of the bitumen’s geographic origin. Atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma was used as a means to determine the content of microelements. Vanadium, nickel and molybdenum were found in the tar of five mummies. The determined relative amounts of vanadium, nickel, and molybdenum in the resins of the studied mummies showed a good correlation with the available data on the content of these elements in the Dead Sea bitumen, as well as the Fayum mummy resin based on this bitumen. The advantages of using the method of identifying bitumen in mummy resins based on relative content of vanadium, nickel, and molybdenum were revealed.

  • 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MUMMY SKELETON FROM THE PUSHKIN STATE MUSEUM OF Fine Arts (I,1 1240)
    Copernicus Publications, 2019
    Co-Authors: S V Vasilyev, R M Galeev, O P Dyuzheva, O. A. Vasilyeva, M. Novikov, I. A. Chichaev, E B Yatsishina
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to obtain a non-destructive three-dimensional model of the ancient Egyptian mummy skeleton from the collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (I,1 1240). The objective of this research was to study the possibility of precise segmentation of bone structures and their separation from the surrounding mummified soft tissues, as well as the reconstruction of destroyed bone fragments according to the preserved shape. With the help of additive technology made all fragments of the skeleton, including the distal phalanx. The digital models and plastic reconstructions of historical artifacts can be used for further research, for example, the biomechanical and morphometric ones, as well as for the purpose of information and education, or as a supplement to the original museum objects

  • interdisciplinary study of egyptian mummies from the pushkin state museum of Fine Arts collection at the national research centre kurchatov institute
    Crystallography Reports, 2018
    Co-Authors: E B Yatsishina, O A Vasilieva, O P Dyuzheva, M V Kovalchuk, M D Loshak, S V Vasilyev, V M Pojidaev, Vadim Ushakov
    Abstract:

    Nine ancient Egyptian mummies (dated preliminarily to the period from the 1st mill. BCE to the first centuries CE) from the collection of the State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts have been studied at the National Research Centre “Kurchatov Institute” (NRC KI) on the base of the complex of NBICS technologies. Tomographic scanning is performed using a magneto-resonance tomograph (3 T) and a hybrid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) scanner. Three-dimensional reconstructions of mummies and their anthropological measurements are carried out. Some medical conclusions are drawn based on the tomographic data. In addition, the embalming composition and tissue of one of the mummies are preliminarily analyzed.

  • research of a complex fire induced pollution on the marble relief from the pushkin state museum of Fine Arts collection
    Heritage Science, 2019
    Co-Authors: V M Pozhidaev, V A Rastorguev, V M Retivov, A V Kamaev, S K Belus, A S Nartov, I V Borodin, Elena Tereschenko, R A Sandu
    Abstract:

    Fundamental restoration of sculptures must include the research of pollution composition and exhibit surface condition as well as accurate identification of the materials of sculptures, bas-reliefs and coatings. In the recent years, studies of marble objects aimed at identification of contamination nature and composition have been developed. It should be noted that some exhibits have individual features as objects of restoration due to complex exposure to the environment, e.g. to fire. The article describes the results of surface contamination study on two exhibits from the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts collection. Marble relief sculpture “The Flagellation of Christ” was the main object of the study. Glazed terracotta (majolica) “Madonna Friedrichshain” was studied as a control sample with the same type of contaminations but with less sensitive surface. According to the results of different gas chromatography and X-ray fluorescence analyses, pollution compounds were identified as fatty alcohols, fatty acids and esters, part of which being residues of pyrolysis gasification, including those containing iron and lead. In order to gently clean the exhibits, several variants of chemical compounds were proposed based on various chelating agent mixtures, and, after studying their comparative effectiveness, the optimal scheme was chosen for removing existing contamination. For verification of marble exhibits safety, selected cleaning mixtures were tested on polished Carrara marble sample. The most suitable scheme of organic contaminations removal including those containing iron and lead was suggested as part of restoration process. There is a number of working schemes of cleaning the surface of exhibits, however our proposed scheme interacts with the marble surface more gently because the target cleaning mixture composition was formulated taking into account the nature of pollutants and the least possible impact on the sample surface.

  • incentives organisational identification and relationship quality among members of Fine Arts museums
    Journal of Service Management, 2011
    Co-Authors: Carmen Camarero, Ma Jose Garrido
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between museums and their donor clients (“friends”) by analysing the relative importance of the benefits (material and non‐material) that such friends of the organisation receive, their organisational identification with the museum: and their perceptions of satisfaction, trust, and future commitment.Design/methodology/approach – Drawing on the tenets of both relationship marketing and social identity theory, the study develops and proposes a model of the relationships among the relevant constructs. This is empirically tested using survey data collected from 231 friends of Spanish museums of Fine Arts.Findings – The study finds that positive and significant links exist between: the benefits (material and non‐material) that members receive and their degree of organisational identification with the museum, and organisational identification and certain relational constructs (satisfaction with products and services, trust in the organisation an...
