This paper presents a case study of the conservation of Coptic 
icon painted by the Jerusalem painter; Hafez Shamndi and 
dating back to 19th at Saint Mercurius Monastery at 
Tamouh.One of the main problems of the icon which I had to 
conserve it, was the yellowish varnish and over panting.
Another important issue in the conservation process was the 
cleaning of the icon. Its entire surface was covered by a thick 
layer of adherent dirt. The conservation work undertaken 
entailed other interventions as well, all aimed at bringing the 
painting in a stable state of conservation and at the same time 
restoring its intended, aesthetically appropriate form [1].
This article will discuss the conservation process of the icon,
in addition to research into its historical background, treatment 
and conclusion.
