Describes humidification of a late 18th century Jain Mandala from Gujart, India, for display purposes made with watersoluble pigments on cloth. It was worn along the folds due to repeated folding and would not lie flat for display/reading of symbols, etc.. Gentle humidification with Gore-tex over a period of time was carried out. Gore-tex is flat material which absorbs moisture on one side and sheds it on the other. It was laid onto wet towelling such that moisture would be released upwards. The back of the Mandala was placed on top. Over several days the Mandala relaxed onto a more uniform plane and was then attached to a backing mount with a series of laid silk stitches after which if was encased in a plexi-mount case. Much used in paper conservation it is thought that this technique will have many applications in textile work.
