  Abstract:   The processional flag is a cult object belonging to the churches. Nowadays, as well as it was in the past, the flag is carried by people, preceeding the religious processions; it is used on the occasion of bringing icons and holy relics from one place to another; the flag is also used at different ceremonial moments and at funerals. The Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania owns 10 processional flags in various conservation stages. Pigment samples were taken and we present the result of the samples expertise achieved by using the FTIR spectrometry, X-Ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the processional flag with the inventory number 8254. The results will be used to recommend several correct conservation and preservation methods.
