“…Table S2 shows the list of compounds detected by the XRD systems (experiments performed in transmission -µ-XRD -and reflection -XRD portable -modes) [17] and those by micro-Raman spectroscopy and XRF. The organic synthetic colourants and the black pigments were detected only by Raman spectroscopy, and the brass-based pigment only by XRD.…”

“…[15 -18] In the present study, an Arabic manuscript, supposedly from the 14th century, was investigated and its components (mainly pigments and dyestuffs) characterised. Recently, we have reported on the characterisation of the materials forming part of this manuscript employing mainly XRD with micro-XRD and portable equipment, [17] but in this paper we focus our attention on the performance of micro-Raman and XRF experiments. Results by XRD will be compared with those provided by micro-Raman and XRF in the conclusion.…”

An Arabic manuscript, supposed to be from the 14th century, was investigated and its components (pigments and dyestuffs) characterised using micro-Raman and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, the latter employing a portable XRF/X-ray diffraction (XRD) system. The presence of anatase, rutile, calcite, barite, zinc oxide, carbon black, vermilion, hematite, goethite, β-naphthol, copper phthalocyanine, pigmosol green and a brass-based pigment was detected in the different zones of the illuminated manuscript. The detection of titanium oxides, barite and organic synthetic colourants such as β-naphthol and copper phthalocyanine and derived compounds provides indisputable indication of forging, repainting or retouching after the 19th century in the image of the manuscript.

“…Small plain pieces or fragments of artwork can be easily transported to a laboratory and studied directly by noninvasive XRD, micro-Raman, micro-FTIR, and SEM/EDX without altering the samples [27][28][29][30][31], that are then returned to their original location.…”

Non-invasive analytical techniques applied to characterize the components of ancient golden medallions

et al. 2013

Background: The first stable material used to create a gilded surface was gold. False gold was also found in the form of copper-zinc powders or silver covered with resin. There are various ways to make gold leaf adhere to a large surface area. The identification of the materials and processes to make the gilding and the use of noninvasive techniques for gilding study is still an open problem. The gilding of the medallions from the Mudejar palace of Sevilla Alcazar was investigated, and their components were characterised using non-invasive (in situ and laboratory) techniques such as X-ray fluorescence, μ-Raman, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-rays. Cross-sections of golden support were also performed and studied by SEM-EDX. Results: The leaf adhered to the surface was primarily a gold alloy. However, copper, silver and zinc were also found. A layer of lead chromate with some lead sulphate was between the alloy and the support. This yellow pigment (lead chromate) and the layers of bole and white lead were characterised in cross-sections prepared from samples taken from the medallions in which the golden layer was missing. The support was composed of gypsum. Another golden layer applied in oldest time period was also found.
