Abstract
A highly protective, yet aesthetically pleasing, method of mounting an Inuit batik for display purposes is described. Following removal from the previous framing and subsequent cleaning, a special mount was devised that would minimize stress on the material and protect the batik from dust, light fading, and accidents such as water damage. The technique utilizes ultra-violet absorbing Plexiglas UF-1, allows for proper ventilation and permits full viewing from front and back.
