Comments:Jones 1990Chinese bronze vessel (fang ding)This bronze vessel of the eleventh century BC appears undamaged by ordinary light, but x-rays reveal extensive damage that has been repaired by soldering. The very light areas joining the cracks are lead solder. These rather clumsy and unsightly repairs were carefully disguised by the liberal application of a false patina; this contains an organic binder which flouresces under ultra-violet radiation, revealing the extent of the repatination.
