Current study comprises two parts, Part-I, the subject of this paper, contains analytical study
of ancient Egyptian painted grain stores using some scientific techniques, The following
research (Part –II) deals with the restoration and conservation of the same object. In this
paper, ancient Egyptian painted grain stores have been studied, using (Light Microscope -
SEM - EDX- X-ray – FTIR - chemical analysis of cellulose, and biological study) in order to
determine their mineralogical and chemical composition and evaluate how these pigments
were affected by air pollution .Gypsum was detected in the examined plaster and pigments
samples which indicates the effect of sulfur as a pollutant on the deterioration of the painted
wooden model, The detection of halite in all the studied samples indicates the effect of bad
storing . Light microscope was used to identify the type of wood and infection. SEM indicates
the effect of fungi and bacteria on the painted wooden grain store, in addition to weakness,
cracks, and losing pigments in many parts.
