Abstract

The lack of a common formula among professionals and scholars for the study of applied brocades has led the European working group of specialists in polychrome sculpture to define a standardized procedure for examination, registration and graphic representation that allows a deeper understanding of this delicate and fragile technique. This work gathers the aspects of the applied brocade that have to be examined; how these can be collected and registered according to the most harmless conditions and strategies and proposes a procedure for their graphic representation.
