20.500.12556/RUL-182319 Les kipov z območja zahodne in osrednje Afrike Wood of sculptures from West and Central Africa Slovenski etnografski muzej (SEM) hrani številne zbirke lesenih predmetov iz celega sveta. V raziskavi smo proučili devet lesenih kipov iz območja zahodne in centralne Afrike. Cilj raziskave je bila mikroskopska identifikacija lesa kipov, ki so izdelani iz v Sloveniji manj znanih lesnih vrst. Po izboru smo kipe natančno pregledali, opisali in fotografirali. Na podlagi muzejskih virov, oblik kipov in pregleda literature smo okvirno določili regije njihovega izvora v Afriki. S prilagojenim, čim manj destruktivnim načinom smo odvzeli vzorce za anatomske raziskave lesa, tako da je strukturna celovitost kipov ostala nespremenjena, ter da je mesto odvzema lesa čim manj vidno. Iz vzorcev smo izdelali trajne anatomske preparate za mikroskopsko identifikacijo lesa. S pomočjo mikroskopske analize, anatomskih znakov in literature smo določili družine ali lesne vrste, iz katerih so kipi narejeni, in sicer: Diospyros spp., Guibourtia spp., Millettia spp., Cylicodiscus spp., Ceiba pentandra, Xylocarpus spp., Dracontomelon dao ter Balanites cf. aegyptiaca. The Slovene Ethnographic Museum (SEM) in Ljubljana, Slovenia, houses numerous collections of wooden objects from around the world. In this work we have examined nine sculptures from West and Central Africa. The goal of the research was microscopic wood identification, which is required as the sculptures are made of lesser known wood species. After the selection, we precisely examined, described and photographed the sculptures Based on their shapes, museum sources and available literature, we assigned the sculptures to specific regions of Africa. We carefully collected small samples of wood for anatomical analysis, taking care to preserve the structural integrity of the sculptures and ensure that the sampling locations remained invisible. We made permanent slides for microscopic wood identification. Using a light microscope, available literature, and anatomical characteristics, we were able to determine the following taxa: Diospyros spp., Guibourtia spp., Millettia spp., Cylicodiscus spp., Ceiba pentandra, Xylocarpus spp., Dracontomelon dao, and Balanites cf. aegyptiaca. The results of wood identification complement the documentation of the sculptures. anatomija lesa identifikacija lesa svetlobni mikroskop muzejski predmeti tropska Afrika Slovenski etnografski muzej wood anatomy wood identification light microscope museum artefacts tropical Africa Slovene Ethnographic Museum true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-05-07 08:45:27 2026-05-07 08:45:34 2026-05-08 04:51:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 5-28 no. 1 Vol. 75 Maj 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*8 2590-9932 10.26614/les-wood.2026.v75n001 277310211 RAZ_Zajc_Anze_2026.pdf RAZ_Zajc_Anze_2026.pdf 1 6F3855029BE7F6554988C09B2EA40543 2dfa6373ca2cf3478f27664e56603065345354ffab3516f13a2ad65960aeacd1 2290896e-49e0-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=233469 https://journals.uni-lj.si/les-wood/article/view/25151/21255 1 0e9d89e2-49e0-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=233468 Biotehniška fakulteta Les 0 0 0
