【花罩修復紀錄｜殘缺，也能重新成對】
花罩，又稱飛罩，是傳統建築與神龕中常見的鏤空木構件，多位於樑柱之間，作為半開放性的空間區隔。
這類構件講究成對、對稱，但古蹟修復最常遇到的問題，就是：
「只剩一邊。」
這次修復的花鳥飛罩，為檳城民國初年的作品，已有百餘年歷史。其中一側因白蟻蛀蝕而嚴重空陷斷裂，已無法保存。
因此便以殘件與另一側原件作為參考，重新描稿翻刻，依原貌比例與風格，補回缺失的一邊，使其重新恢復完整成對。
修復最難的，從來不只是重做一件新的。而是如何讓新的部分，仍保有老件原有的氣韻與時代感。
太工整，便不像老件；
太隨意，又容易失去比例。
有時候，老件缺的不是價值，
只是缺了一個願意把它補回完整的人。

【Floral Hanging Screen Restoration】
Traditional hanging screens, known as “hua zhao” (花罩) or “fei zhao” (飛罩), were decorative openwork wooden partitions commonly found in traditional architecture and shrine interiors.
This Penang-made pair from the early Republican era is now over a century old. One side had been severely damaged by termites, leaving only half surviving.
Using the remaining fragments and the intact opposite side as reference, the missing section was carefully re-carved to restore the pair as a whole once again.
The challenge in restoration is not simply making a new piece — but allowing the new work to retain the spirit and character of the original.
Sometimes, old objects are not lacking in value.
They are simply waiting for someone willing to restore them with care.
