Other information about the sample
- The seven samples were inside a plastic container labelled “Göreme, Cappadocia, Turchia, pittura murale. TUR/M/1 to TUR/M/7.” There is no indication of the monument. Each sample was individually labelled. ICCOM 202 Catalogue references: TUR/M/1: TUBE 1A – References: Restle, Marcell, Byzantine Wall Painting Asia Minor, Ireland, 1969, Shannon (IC p. 34, PN 1082) TUR/M/2: TUBE 1A (IC p. 34, PN 1083) TUR/M/3: TUBE 1A (IC p. 34, PN 1084) TUR/M/4: TUBE 1A (IC p. 34, PN 1085) TUR/M/5 to TUR/M/7 are missing from the IC Catalogue. In a Word document found in the archives entitled “Elenco” (folder “elenco totale dei campioni”), Ihlara is mentioned as the likely provenance for samples TUR/M/1 to TUR/M/7. Until this information is confirmed, the samples are classified as unknown.
