 Using microscopic examination and a range of imaging techniques, in combination with a suite of instrumental analytical methods, it was possible to reconstruct the order in which the surfaces of Pakepu’s coffins were prepared and decorated.
 
-On Pakepu’s inner coffin, the painted decoration was applied over an unusual, complex layered structure (on the exterior only) comprising a thick layer of fibrous glue, a layer of linen then non-fibrous glue followed by a layer of white calcite paste, a further layer of linen, and then two more white paste layers. There is also an enigmatic black patchy layer visible immediately over the fibrous glue in some places. This structure, which somewhat resembles the material known as cartonnage, masks the wooden carcass that it encases.

 The surface layer on the intermediate coffin is quite different. Over the wooden support and partial pink paste layer, there is just one preparation layer of white calcite paste onto which the decorative scheme is painted.
