Disappearedparts were carved a new, and a great number of fissures and holes were refilled. Afrer cleaning, the parts damaged or replaced were gilded using sheets of fine gold and traditional techniques. During this process, it was discovered the artist's signature and the date of 1755 (at an upper part of the work), which ,fitlly confirm the authorship by the reredos maker José Ganga.
