Abstract

The sarcophagus of Pasherienaset and Ramose (both dating to Dynasty XXVI), both preserved  in two Italian museums, have underwent non-invasive diagnostic tests using portable XRF spectroscopy, for the recognition and comparison of the materials and pigments used. On the Ramose's coffin it has been also acquired a colorimetric dimensional relief with active vision technique, which allows three-dimensional visualization and monitoring of decorated surfaces. The results obtained have been discussed, compared and correlated with the recent restoration and conservation interventions that have affected at different times; the two sarcophagi, mummies and their burial.
