Abstract
Rameses II's stove from the Egyptian Museum was studied by X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence techniques; chemical treatment and conservation processes were then applied. The corrosionproducts covering the surface of the stove were found to be atacamite, paratacamite, calumetite, malachite and, in some patches, azurite. The stove proved toconsist of cast bronze, with a small amount of lead and traces of iron, probably due to impurities in the ores. The upper surface of the stove has four similar circular holes, which lie in a line, as temperature regulators,as well as five old soldering points which were made by ancient Egyptians using cold V-type hammering.
