I am contacting this group in desperation to find a solution to the repair and conservation of a very old and partially rotten African carving of the dogon tribe.The base is almost completely gone and the sides have got extensive damage but otherwise the piece is in O.K. condition. Is there a cheap and easy way to conserve this artifact as I am quite fond of it and it has come a long way in time and distance and it deserves to be rejuvenated. Charlie
