Technique and materials with which a work of art or a museum object is made, written as free text, such as oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, photograph or bronze. Museum catalogues keep it in a field named technique, medium or material. The values form a small vocabulary that is repeated in many spellings and word orders (oil on canvas, canvas, oil), so it has no regular expression.
