Abstract

The paper presents different aspects considered in the conservation treatment process of a Medical Science School banner, belonging to the University of São Paulo, Brazil. The banner, created in 1918 to represent the Medical School in parades and public celebrations, was commissioned to Oscar Pereira da Silva, a famous Brazilian painter and it It features the main symbols of the medical sciences. The banner was conceived and made with green silk - as green was (still is) the colour attributed to the medical sciences in Brazil. However, it has turned into a gold colour some considerable time ago, and it was as a gold banner that it became the symbol of the School in the last decades. Books and documents have been published showing the golden symbol. This paper seeks to detail the conservation treatment carried out and the decision-making process involved in the work.
