1. RECOMMENDATION AND REMARKS:

1. Display

For displaying this object, avoid it from being hung because this will create too muchtension to this object. The best way is to display it in flat method where the tension ofgravity is spread evenly to all part of the object.

This object should also be displayed in case or within glazed frame to avoid outsidepollution and dust. However, the display case must not be tight where this may lead to

excess humidity.

Light exposure at the display area should be kept in low level; around 50lux becauselight is one of the source of heat and this may cause fading and make object dry andbrittle. If possible, use automatic light which only turns on as people approach thedisplay area and turns off when people move on.

The RH reading and temperature should be kept in constant at all the time.

2. Storage

This textile object can be either store in flat storage or to be rolled to a tube. In using

any of this method, be sure not to put any direct contact of object to the storage parts.

The object must be layered with acid-free paper to keep it away from any exposure to

further damages.

The environment of the storage should be around 60% +/- 5% of RH, 20 degree

Celsius +/- 2 degree Celsius and proper maintenance from time to time.

The storage should be in total darkness, which mean to avoid any light in order to keep

it in best condition.
