Komir Temple Case Study

Discussion
Field observations and lab analysis indicated that, there are many types of damages that wall painting can undergo in the Komir temple. All building and decoration materials of Komir temple have been investigated concerning the contamination with soluble salts. Soluble salts represent one of the most important causes of stone decay that may precipitate on the external surface (“efflorescence's”) or in proximity of the surface (“subefflorescence's”) [Brai et al 2010]. The degradation induced by soluble salts on wall painting in Komir temple was studied by sampling efflorescence's from different places and studied by XRD and XRF. Samples confirmed the presence of chlorides and sulphates species in the form of the following crystalline
groundwater and domestic waste water) containing high level of different harmful ions. Therefore, the following recommendations should be taken for protecting the wall painting such as: There are many problems need a lot of scientific work before satisfying conservation plan will be established as Preventive Conservation. Preventive conservation measures of more immediate effect are usually concerned with keeping water out of the stone and with controlling the relative humidity and temperature of the air around the stone [Price, 1993). The main purpose of relative humidity control is to prevent salt damage which can be carried out by reducing the subsurface water level under the Komir temple by treatment the reasons for rising (i.e. converting Ramady Canal to covered drainage system and conversion the system of farmland irrigation in the surrounded area to drip irrigation, that reduce the rate of water leaks into the walls of the temple.
The amount of trash, dust and debris must be raised from the floor of the
Es-Sagher and V. Dominique1979 and completing excavation to discover the another parts of the temple. The surrounding houses should be removed according to the law as they do not give any chance for the aesthetic appreciation of the temple in addition to give chance to complete the new excavation Vegetation removal should be carried out by mechanical removal for roots and rhizomes and chemical removal by using chemical pesticides as pesticide Glyphosate pesticide or Fuluazifop-p-butyl. Wall Paintings should be covered with suitable methods in order to avoid any damage that can occur during the excavation or raised the debris. After Preventive Conservation, conservation interventions have to be individually planned and conservation materials should be tested before to ensure their efficiency and have to be well adapted to the material parameters of the building in order to avoid further damages (Leisen et al 2008). During field observation, highly endangered areas have been detected. Here emergency measures should be carried out immediately in order to prevent the loss of original material and relives. Emergency interventions are preliminary measures like gluing pieces or pre-consolidate. A partial pre‐consolidation should be carried out only on the crumbed and separated weak surface.
