Protection of Ritual Objects with a Value-Oriented Approach (A Research Case Study of Rain-Seeking Dolls) Javad Abbasi 1, Kourosh Samanian 2* 1 (Received: 2023/03/07 Acceptance: 2023/09/05) Abstract Cultural heritage and its related concepts have evolved throughout history.
Folk culture is one of the valuable manifestations of intangible heritage that must be strived for as a symbol of authenticity and identity to * This article is derived from the first author's doctoral dissertation titled "Clarifying the Relationship between Soft and Hard Sciences in Optimizing the Process of Protection and Restoration of Historical Objects" under the supervision of Dr. Kourosh Samanian.
In accordance with this concept, this article attempts to examine the rain-seeking ritual with a focus on dolls in different geographical regions and their respective cultures, then discusses the values of these artifacts, and finally examines and analyzes the conservation and restoration approaches related to this ritual and the objects used in it.
In fact, what is observed throughout history is that most interventions carried out in the restoration process have been based on the tangible characteristics and material aspects of objects; on the other hand, attention has not been paid, or has been paid less, to the intangible aspects of works, even though many charters and conventions in the field of conservation and restoration, including the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage 1972, the International Cultural Tourism Declaration 1999, the ICOMOS 1998 Stockholm Declaration, the ICOMOS Australia Charter for Places of Cultural Significance (Burra), the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage 2003, the Siena Charter 2005, the Faro Convention 2005, the Barcelona Declaration 2018, and some other charters, have addressed the importance of the intangible aspects of works.
