I will be treating this pair of sword and sheath from Borneo, and it is also my primary research project. I conducted art historical research into the context of the collection as part of my art historical methods elective class in Fall 2024. I will also be conducting a technical analysis of the sword and sheath as a part of my science course.

First Year Projects
First Year Block Projects
In the first year at WUDPAC, we learn about a range of art and heritage materials in the Block system. Through each block, we learn about the structure, degradation, and conservation of materials such as paper, paintings, inorganic and organic objects, and more.
Documentation and Imaging
For Chemical and Physical Techniques Used in the Examination of Art Materials II (ARTC 671), I documented a pair of bellows from the Winterthur Museum collection. I utilized various multiband imaging techniques and 3-D documentation techniques such as photogrammetry and reflectance transformation imaging (RTI).
