Abstract Gottfried Lindauer was a Bohemian painter residing and working in Aotearoa New Zealand. His paintings capturing the native people and their life earned him praise and respect from the Māori and Pākehā alike, as well as international recognition within and outside the artistic community. The Náprstek Museum in Prague owns two of his paintings, a small collection of Maori objects, photographs and letters to Ms Josefa Náprstková. This set of resources offers a comprehensive view on the artist’s collection practices, his creative process, and last but not least his relation to the Náprstek family.

Abstract The exploration of the pyramid complex of King Djedkare at south Saqqara in 2018 revealed a large number of secondary burials. These burials were found between the north part of the king’s funerary precinct and in the south part of his queen’s precinct in an area which had not been previously excavated. This brief preliminary study presents the archaeological frame together with the results of the osteological examination of a small group of burials which contained grave goods. This study shows that at this burial ground, grave goods were associated mostly with immature individuals, and in a smaller number of cases with adult women, while no adult male burial with grave goods was documented in this group.

Abstract The study deals with the traditional clothing of the Southern Altaians – Altai-Kizhi and Telengits, living in the territory of the Altai Republic in the Russian Federation, its common features, ethnic specifics and, above all, the changes it has gone through since the second half of the 18th century to the present. During this period, there were several major political developments that had a significant impact on traditional Altai culture, including clothing. Attention is focused on the influence of Russian and Chinese textile production, the transformation of the material used in the production of clothing, its forms, decorative elements, colour as well as its role and use at present.

Abstract Spectacles from China appear in many museum collections, and they are popular collectibles in private collections. The collection of ten spectacles and their cases in the Náprstek Museum in Prague shows its technological and material development from the pince-nez type in the second half of the 19th century to early 20th century tortoiseshell and plastic spectacles. As signs of learning, these different types of spectacles and their cases show their social context and meaning in Chinese society during the transition period from the traditional to the modern era.

Abstract Museum collections often contain items that are inaccurately, or even wrongly, identified. This was the case of a jar belonging to a collection in the West Bohemian Museum in Pilsen. The Iranian jar was apparently acquired at the end of the 19th century and later mistakenly placed in the Chinese collection. This piece shows an interesting example of the evolution of Iranian pottery, but also of the history of the decorative arts collection in the Pilsen museum.

The latest addition from the Ethnos division of the Dauphin publishing house is the Czech translation of Kai Reinhold Donner’s work Siperian samojedien keskuudessa vuosina 1911–1913 ja 1914, or Na Sibiři mezi Samojedy [Among the Samoyed in Siberia]. The book is a balance between a travelogue, an ethnographic study, belles-lettres of adapted field notes, and a philosophically-prognostic essay on the future of Siberian ethnic groups. Kai Reinhold Donner (1888–1935), a linguist from a Swedish-speaking Finnish intellectual family, travels to Siberia to study Samoyedic languages as part of a broader endeavour to understand the roots of the Finnish language. He chooses to actively participate in the lifestyle of the local people, a method that would be brought to fame by Donner’s contemporary Bronisław Malinowski (1884–1942) with his famous opus Argonauts of the Western Pacific. Donner’s participant observation consisted of almost two years in Siberia between 1911 and 1913, as he personally experienced all of the joys and sorrows of life of the Samoyed reindeer herders. His second expedition in 1914 was shorter due to the Great War. In his work the author immortalizes the Samoyed lifestyle during the last years of Imperial Russia and anticipates the changes which would be brought by the turbulent years to come. Donner’s style of narration is light and playful, and he does not lack self-irony and optimism despite his dreary prognoses about the fading cultures. The author does not waste time on lengthy descriptions of dangerous moments that threatened his life (after all, the reader knows that he survived) or at least his limbs on multiple occasions. Those events are simply mentioned as parts of his expedition and as the bread and butter of the local people. Yet, the story is captivating, as Donner effortlessly blends ethnographic descriptions with anecdotic events. This is greatly enhanced by a very good translation by Anežka Melounová. The original text is complemented with a preface by Zdeněk Justoň, footnotes and a postface by Melounová, an overview of Siberian nations mentioned by Donner including the current terminology, an index, and historical photographs borrowed from Isän jalanjäljillä (the book of Kai Donner’s son Jörn Donner) DOI. 10.2478/anpm–2019–0010
Dauphin出版社的民族部最新增加的是Kai Reinhold Donner的著作Siperian samojedien keskuudessa vuosina 1911-1913 ja 1914的捷克语翻译，或Na Sibiři mezi Samojedy[在西伯利亚的萨摩耶人]。这本书是一本游记、民族志研究、实地笔记改编的佳作和一篇关于西伯利亚民族未来的哲学预言论文之间的平衡。凯·莱因霍尔德·唐纳(Kai Reinhold Donner, 1888-1935)是一位来自讲瑞典语的芬兰知识分子家庭的语言学家，他前往西伯利亚学习萨莫耶迪语，作为了解芬兰语根源的更广泛努力的一部分。他选择积极参与当地人民的生活方式，这种方法将被唐纳同时代的Bronisław马林诺夫斯基(1884-1942)带着他著名的作品《西太平洋的阿尔戈英雄》而闻名。唐纳的参与观察包括1911年至1913年在西伯利亚的近两年时间，因为他亲身经历了萨摩耶驯鹿牧民生活中的所有喜怒哀乐。由于第一次世界大战，他在1914年的第二次探险缩短了。在他的作品中，作者不朽的萨摩耶人的生活方式在俄罗斯帝国的最后几年，并预计将带来动荡的岁月来的变化。唐纳的叙事风格轻松有趣，尽管他对衰落文化的预言令人沮丧，但他并不缺乏自嘲和乐观。作者没有浪费时间在冗长的描述威胁到他的生命的危险时刻(毕竟，读者知道他活了下来)或至少他的四肢在多个场合。这些事件只是作为他远征的一部分和当地人的面包和黄油而被提及。然而，这个故事是迷人的，因为唐纳毫不费力地将民族志描述与轶事事件融合在一起。这一点在Anežka melounov的出色翻译下得到了极大的增强。原文补充了zden k justoov的序言，脚注和melounovov的postface, Donner提到的西伯利亚国家概述，包括当前术语，索引和从Isän jalanjäljillä (Kai Donner的儿子Jörn Donner的书)DOI借来的历史照片。10.2478 / anpm - 2019 - 0010

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe how the material culture of the indigenous hunters and fishermen of the Udehe in the Far East of Russia have been transformed by outside influence, from an autonomous and already sophisticated culture to a dependent and modernized one. The discussion centres around the means of water transport, two kinds of dugout boats (the bat and omorochka) because they were and still are essential for hunting and fishing, which are the main economic activities of Udehe. The author demonstrates how this one part of material culture has changed in manufacturing and use, and what has changed in the everyday life due to this transformation.

Jiří Viktor Daneš (1880–1928) was an outstanding character of his time accomplished in multiple fields. He was an internationally respected geographer, a diplomat, author, a globetrotter and collector. His remarkable life story is sadly mostly forgotten and unknown to the general public. The new publication by Jiří Martínek Geograf a cestoval Jiří Daneš [Geographer and Traveller Jiří Daneš] aims to reintroduce this extraordinary figure by filling in the blank space of the Czech historiography, as stated by the author (p. 225). The book is commenced with a short essay on the genre of biography and its role in the field of historiography; methodology and goals of the publication are also introduced. The core of the book is a chapter on the life of J. V. Daneš, for the sake of clarity divided into multiple sub-chapters. The author analyses the family relations in detail, no possible thread of information was omitted, but on the contrary fully exploited to offer a comprehensive insight into the family and social background that no doubt played a crucial role in the forming of Daneš’s personality. The text proceeds from his early years, through education, towards pursuing scientific career in geography and many accompanying activities, to the tragic accident that led to his untimely death. His legacy, including Daneš’s trust, as well as the life of the widow, Božena Danešová, are also discussed. Special chapters are dedicated to Daneš’s scientific work and to his political worldview. The book is concluded with a summary, appendices and an English résumé. The publication not only tells the life story of a significant personality. The author makes every effort to portrait J. V. Daneš as a real person, with a complex character and strong opinions, many interests and, naturally, some flaws. Some data and information are repeated multiple times across the chapters. This is not only a useful aid to the reader’s memory and orientation within Daneš’s eventful life; it also makes the book functional and resourceful within its individual parts, not only as a whole. The publication prides itself in meticulous citations and footnotes, and an extensive bibliography. The author thoroughly studied all available resources, including the National Archives of Australia, and followed all leads that could contribute some to the grand mosaic. Appendices contain the complete bibliography of J. V. Daneš; list of his

The new publication by Jiří Martínek Geograf a cestoval Jiří Daneš [Geographer and Traveller Jiří Daneš] aims to reintroduce this extraordinary figure by filling in the blank space of the Czech historiography, as stated by the author (p. 225). The book is commenced with a short essay on the genre of biography and its role in the field of historiography; methodology and goals of the publication are also introduced. The core of the book is a chapter on the life of J. V. Daneš, for the sake of clarity divided into multiple sub-chapters. The author analyses the family relations in detail, no possible thread of information was omitted, but on the contrary fully exploited to offer a comprehensive insight into the family and social background that no doubt played a crucial role in the forming of Daneš’s personality. The text proceeds from his early years, through education, towards pursuing scientific career in geography and many accompanying activities, to the tragic accident that led to his untimely death. His legacy, including Daneš’s trust, as well as the life of the widow, Božena Danešová, are also discussed. Special chapters are dedicated to Daneš’s scientific work and to his political worldview. The book is concluded with a summary, appendices and an English résumé. The publication not only tells the life story of a significant personality. The author makes every effort to portrait J. V. Daneš as a real person, with a complex character and strong opinions, many interests and, naturally, some flaws. Some data and information are repeated multiple times across the chapters. This is not only a useful aid to the reader’s memory and orientation within Daneš’s eventful life; it also makes the book functional and resourceful within its individual parts, not only as a whole. The publication prides itself in meticulous citations and footnotes, and an extensive bibliography. The author thoroughly studied all available resources, including the National Archives of Australia, and followed all leads that could contribute some to the grand mosaic.
