Terminology

From: Saba Risaluddin <sabar>
Date: Saturday, May 5, 2007
Can anyone help translate or explain the word "korpozna" as
qualifier for "tempera", please?  "Korpozna tempera" was referred to
in a report on the restoration of a painted ceiling in a mosque in
Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the following phrase (translated, except
for the mysterious word): "the ceiling decoration [was originally]
painted using KORPOZNA tempera with a protein binder direct onto the
wood..."

The institution commissioning the translation, the Commission to
Preserve National Monuments, has not responded to requests for
clarification/ definition, and my searches of the internet for
tempera terminology have proved fruitless.
