The artwork, belonging to the Museum of the Palácio dos Bandeirantes (São Paulo, Brazil), was characterized using non-destructive imaging techniques, including radiography and tomography. Resin impregnation was performed in a custom stainless-steel vessel operating under vacuum and positive pressure. The sculpture was then treated with gamma radiation to a total absorbed dose of 50 kGy. The treatment achieved full structural consolidation, allowing safe restoration and suitability for exhibition.1-8engopenAccessArtigo de periódico10.1007/s10967-025-10646-6http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4168-162635.40831.28
