The study presents amulet cases of the Uzbeks, Tajiks, and Karakalpaks from the late 19th century until the early 20th century taking example from the collections of the State Museum of Arts of Uzbekistan, Samarkand State Museum-Reserve, State Museum of Applied Art and History of Crafting of the Republic of Uzbekistan and National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures, Czech Republic. In particular, the types and forms of amulet cases, material, processing technique, ornament, and the resulting ethnic and local specifics are analysed. The study aims to differentiate the characteristic features of this prominent group of Central Asian jewellery and thus contribute to the correct identification thereof in connection with professional museum work.

In 2021, a survey of two sites, known as Jumba la Mtwana and Mnarani in Kenya took place, which date between the 14th and 16th centuries CE. The sites represent some of the Swahili towns on the East African coast that were in the precolonial period taking part in trade along the coastline, to inland Africa and as far as the Middle East, India, and China. Today, the sites feature standing remains of various architectural features constructed of coral rag, a local type of limestone. This paper reports on a high-definition survey, which for the first time documented the entirety of the standing remains, spatial layout, and a configuration of these predominantly Islamic towns. The survey was conducted using a combination of 3D scanning technologies and photography, aimed at achieving two goals – documenting the state of preservation of the architectural remains and, perhaps more importantly, answering research questions in Swahili archaeology pertaining to the organisation of the urban constructed space. The preliminary results show that data from the conducted survey bring new information on the life-cycles of mosque architecture or on the construction of exterior urban space, contributing to the discussion on the existence and organisation of streets.
2021年，对肯尼亚的Jumba la Mtwana和Mnarani这两个地点进行了调查，这两个地点的历史可以追溯到公元14世纪到16世纪。这些遗址代表了一些位于东非海岸的斯瓦希里城镇，这些城镇在前殖民时期参与了沿海岸线、非洲内陆以及远至中东、印度和中国的贸易。今天，这些遗址的特色是用珊瑚布(一种当地的石灰石)建造的各种建筑特征的遗迹。本文报告了一项高清晰的调查，首次记录了这些以伊斯兰教为主的城镇的全部遗迹、空间布局和结构。这项调查结合了3D扫描技术和摄影技术，旨在实现两个目标——记录建筑遗迹的保存状态，也许更重要的是，回答斯瓦希里考古学中有关城市建筑空间组织的研究问题。初步结果表明，调查数据为清真寺建筑的生命周期或城市外部空间的建设提供了新的信息，有助于讨论街道的存在和组织。

An ancient Egyptian pectoral dated to the New Kingdom and belonging to the lector priest Panakht, entered the collections of the now National Museum, Prague, in the second half of the 19th century. The pectoral is decorated with a scene representing the rising sun on the recto and a scene of the worship of Osiris by the owner on the verso.

In 2011, Claude Laroche was able to establish relation between three pectorals of Pyay kept in the collections of three different European museums. He proved that the objects served in the modern times as patterns for one another and established a sequence in which they were made. Another copy belonging to the group was identified in the collections of the Buchlov Castle, South Moravian Region in the Czech Republic. The Buchlov piece is significantly diverging from the others in its form and decoration of the recto. The text of the initial parts of Chapter 30B of the Book of the Dead on the verso of the Buchlov specimen was compared with corresponding texts from the other pieces by the means of paleographic analysis. Based on its results, it was possible to ascertain its position in Laroche’s sequence of the copies of the pectoral of Pyay.

The study focuses on the photographic negatives and slides from the personal estate of traveller Barbora Marketa Eliášova stored in the National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures. Photographic negatives and slides were divided between the archival fund and the museum collection. With the use of digital technologies, it was possible to reunite separated parts and study them as a whole. For negatives, the main question was to find out which images Eliášova took herself on her travels and which are image reproductions from other sources. In the same way, slides were examined as evidence of the use of photographic techniques in lecture activities.

The paper deals with two collections in the Náprstek Museum, the collection of M. R. Štefánik, a Slovak politician, soldier and astronomer, who visited Japan in 1919, and the collection of Bedřich Feuerstein, Czech architect, who lived in Japan in 1926–1930. These collections, similar in size and in the time of creation, reflect different reasons for obtaining the objects. Both collections are only a small part of the objects originally belonging to Štefánik and Feuerstein, and had been unpublished for long time.

The National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures, Prague, keeps within its collection four ancient Egyptian fish mummies. The specimens were recently examined using computed tomography as a part of the Atlas of Egyptian Mummies Project in the Czech Collections. Preliminary results of the examination using the most advanced, non-destructive radiological methods indicated that the original taxonomical determination of the mummified fish, examined previously by the team led by Eugen Strouhal in the 1970s, as Polypterus sp. (and Gymnarchus niloticus) was not confirmed. Recently, the specimens were classified as belonging to the Siluriformes order.

The extensive collection of animal mummies kept in the National Museum – Náprsek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures comprises specimens of various species. The latest examination by the means of computed tomography has confirmed that one of the mummified ball-shaped packages contained remains of a shrew. The present paper summarises in wider context the issue of the mummification of these insectivores, introduces the shrew mummy kept in the Náprstek Museum collections and its research history, and presents the results of its recent scientific re-examination.
