Abstract
The diagnosis of the state of object behavior and range of pest control and consolidation is an important element of conservation work. The aim of the study was to determine the internal state of preservation of the object and verify the effectiveness of restoration procedures using X-ray computed tomography methods. Computed tomographic studies were conducted at a medical computer tomography device 4th generation of General Electics. Reconstructing the inner parts of the sculpture, showed it was overall in a very bad state, the development of wood decaying fungi and xylophagous insects. Based on tomographic studies it has been determined that the material used was a dual-core trunk with numerous knots.
