Our museum collection contains a life-sized figure made from braided and stitched corn husk. It contains an armature of unknown materials. We have consulted with a conservator who has suggested that we get a CAT scan of the object to get a better idea of the armature and to determine the distribution of the interior "stuffing." I am interested in hearing about any experiences that the list members have had with similar procedures. I can be contacted off-list at [log in to unmask] Thanks for sharing!
