Dendrokronološke raziskave poslikanih kmečkih skrinj iz zbirke Gorenjskega muzeja v Kranju ; Dendrochronological study of painted chests from the collection of the Gorenjska Museum in Kranj

Poslikane kmečke skrinje so pomemben del zbirk muzejskih predmetov ljudske umetnosti alpskega prostora. V Gorenjskem muzeju Kranj smo pregledali nad 30 in dendrokronološko raziskali 18 skrinj iz lesa iglavcev, pretežno navadne smreke (Picea abies). Na odsekih radialnih desk pokrovov in stranic skrinj smo posneli visoko ločljive fotografije za merjenje širin branik. Na osnovi dveh ali več zaporedij širin branik smo sestavili kronologijo za posamezno skrinjo ter uspešno datirali 9 skrinj (8 smrekovih in 1 jelovo) z datumi zadnje branike od 1742 do 1882. Raziskavo skrinje iz lesa jelke (Abies alba) smo podrobneje predstavili. Dendrokronološki datumi so praviloma za nekaj let odstopali od domnevnega leta izdelave posamezne skrinje. Med razlogi, da datiranje preostale polovice skrinj ni uspelo, je majhno število branik, velika variabilnost dendrokronološkega signala smreke v Sloveniji in pomanjkanje mreže ustreznih re-ferenčnih kronologij. Rezultati kažejo, da lahko dendrokronologijo uporabimo za ugotavljanje starosti in pridobivanje informacij o skrinjah, ki jih ne moremo dobiti iz drugih virov. ; Painted chests are an important part of museum collections of folk art in the Alpine region. At the Gorenjska Museum in Kranj, we examined over 30 chests mostly made of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and selected 18 of them for dendrochronological analysis. We took high resolution images of the radial boards of the constructional parts of the chests for tree-ring analyses. We constructed tree-ring chronologies for each of the 18 chests. Nine of them were dendrochronologically dated (eight spruce chests and one silver fir) with the end dates ranging from 1742 to 1882. The study of the chest made of silver fir (Abies alba) is presented in detail. Half of the chests could not be dated, mainly due to the low number of tree-rings or large variability of tree-ring signal of spruce in Slovenia and consequently lack of adequate reference chronologies. The results show that dendrochronology can be used to determine age and obtain ...
