Abstract
In this article the application of a decision-making model is described for the conservation of an ethnographic object: a Trobriand yam storehouse kept in storage at the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam. The process leading to advice for treatment based on the meaning and the condition of the object, and the applicability of the model, are discussed. The article concludes with specific remarks on the actual restoration in progress and general remarks on the meaning of ethnographic objects and the ethics of their conservation. -- ICN
