A hexagonal marble basin mounted with gilded-bronze reliefs depicting the life of John the Baptist, adorned with bronze statues, enamel bands, and a marble tabernacle, underwent a three-year restoration to address time and humidity damage.
The restoration project combined high-tech and low-tech approaches, utilizing 3-D printed resin in Siena to patch marble gaps and employing state-of-the-art lasers alongside traditional tools like porcupine quills in Florence for metal cleaning.
