However,&nbsp;the research results show that, except being mainly composed of lime and sand,&nbsp;the other properties of the historic mortar and plaster vary from monument to&nbsp;monument regardless of the periods or styles of art and architecture. Hence, there&nbsp;is no starndard modern mortar and plaster that could be used in every Ayutthaya’s&nbsp;restoration project. Studying the properties of each monument’s materials prior to&nbsp;considering appropriate modern materials to be used for restoring them is therefore&nbsp;mandatory.</p> ER -
