Study on the shape correction of the cowrie-container with tiger-handles and eight yaks of Han dynasty

为了修复馆藏青铜虎耳八牛贮贝器,根据其变形的特点,在修复整形工作中,专门设计制作了一套矫形装置,获得很好矫形效果。在矫形过程中,该矫形装置具有很强的矫形恢复能力,特别是在矫形加力时在支撑点的作用下,可以避免器物在矫形过程中断裂现象的发生。而且操作简便、易用,因此该矫形装置具有良好的应用前景。

In order to restore a bronze cowrie - container having tiger - handles and an eight yak design, fiom the Shanghai Museum, a device for correcting its shape was designed to restore it aceording to deformation features of the container. During the shape - correction process, the device efficiently eorreeted the shape. The device provides good support when forces were applied on the container, thus avoiding fracture of the eontainer. This shape correction device is easy to use and has good prospects for restoration of other objeets.
