Abstract
We performed conservation treatment for the sarira reliquary from the pagoda of Hwangnyong-sa temple site. The reliquary is in the shape of gilt-bronze octagonal miniature pagoda. Through radiography, it was newly proved that a radial design exists on the roof part. The gilded layer was plated with amalgam. Each part was plated first before being put together. We restored the lost parts and made supports, and then assembled it in the following order: base, upper part of the base, shaft and roof part. -- MCI
