| Abstract: | We present the characterization, by means of three complementary experimental techniques (optical microscopy OM], scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy SEM-EDX], and micro-Raman spectroscopy µRaman]), of a card belonging to a deck of the Spanish pattern made in Perú at the time of Virreinato de Perú (18th century). The objective is to obtain detailed information on the pictorial palette used for the decoration of the cards, where two basic colors, red and green, are seen. Small samples from both colored regions were analyzed. |
