not impossible but you would have to get it right You could make papyrus with extra salt content so that the ashĬontent would increase but it would be very easy for the cation amounts and ratios to be measured in dynastic papyrus and compared Having an ash content of around 2% and the dynastic papyrus having an ash content of 7-15% 1. Modern papyrus has a lower ash content than old papyrus - quite substantially lower.Smells in the case of something that is solid, are caused eitherīy dust that is being inhaled or more likely from volatiles coming from the papyrus or the paint.
In order to satisfy the piece's artistic requirements by using genuine pigments, media and papyrus, once the piece isįinished, it has a pleasant sweet antiseptic sort of smell.There as well, it isn't going to look like cinnabar Similar but unless you have mercury and sulphur in there, joined together in the right way and with the other impurities in Using a modern, safe, vermilion substitute might look In the pigments and if they are not right, the spectrum will be wrong. Only the correct pigments would produce the correct Ramen spectroscopic results because Ramen spectroscopy looks at the atoms.Though that was not enough, rose madder also phosphoresces but it is likely that it is the alum that it is precipitated onto You would have to be careful not to have anything that interfered with those otherwise that would show up. Gypsum and chalk are also phosphorescent - they continue to emit light for half a second or so after the UV source hasīeen removed - not a visible light source though, it is not just bright light, it has to have enough energy and that takes.Red lead fluoresces an orange, white lead fluoresces Additionally, some pigments fluoresce such as leadĬontaining pigments and calcium containing pigments and rose madder. That would show up in other analysis such as UV or near IR photography. You could do something that inhibited the fluorecsence of modern papyrus but Seems to be something that is lost with time. Modern papyrus fluoresces in ultraviolet light whereas dynastic papyrus does not.Here are some differences: Non-Destructive Testing If more effort has been put into making a piece that has been passed off as original, can still be detected using more Papyrus differ from modern 'aged' papyrus - things that we can do nothing about and that can be detected fairly easily or,
Indeed, there are plenty of ways that pieces of genuinely aged dynastic Egyptian This isn't for the purpose of trying to sell it as though it actually was originally made thousands of years ago but just Old and not as though they have been cut by modern scissors or a guillotine. Heat so that it looks superficially as though it is actually old and then, if the situation warrants it, make the edges look Having done that, we are going to age it using That the best single pigments paints are using the original pigments. Anybody that has done art for a while will know that single pigment paints are far superior to mixtures and So we are using actual papyrus, genuine pigments and medium and using the same techniques for applying the paint to the What are we trying to do?įor the sake of art, we are trying to make newly painted modern papyrus look as though it was made literally thousands of years ago Making papyrus look that little bit older.
