Key words: Sogdiana, Durmen Tepe, ossuary, restoration, reconstruction.
The fragments of several ossuaries from one and the same mould that were found at Durmen Tepe allowed conducting a full-scale restoration and reconstruction of the object. The restorer worked in close contact with the scientists and used a graphic drawing that showed the exact measurements. The original ceramic pieces were included into the plaster casts of the walls and lid, thus helping create a real and unique museum specimen out of the isolated relief fragments.
