Abstract: | The use of Mossbauer effect spectrometry as a tool to study iron-bearing materials in works of art is introduced. A large range of pigments containing iron has now been surveyed. In addition, some interesting conclusions concerning the distinction between two types of terracotta is presented. The method, which can be applied completely non-destructively, has great potential for purposes of identification and authentication. |
