The items were collected by the anthropologist Paul Joachim Schebesta, possibly during his expeditions around 1930. The objects containing wood were selected for wood identification by using microscopic wood identification, with the help of the InsideWood database and reference samples from the xylarium of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. The investigated musical instrument, a wooden zither, was made of wood of Musanga cecropioides, the handle of the shield of Alstonia sp., the dagger and sheath of Autranella congolensis or another high density species of Sapotaceae, and the crossbow of Nauclea diderichii (bow) and Xylopia sp. (stock). Wood identification helped us to gain additional information on the origin, knowledge of wood, and time of the collection of objects in the CongoAfriška zbirka Slovenskega etnografskega muzeja (SEM) v Ljubljani hrani predmete iz vsakdanjega življenja ljudstva Bambuti iz gozda Ituri, na severovzhodu Demokratične republike Kongo. Predmete je zbral antropolog Paul Joachim Schebesta med svojimi odpravami verjetno okoli leta 1930. Predmeti, ki so vsebovali adultni les, so bili izbrani za raziskavo in mikroskopsko identifikacijo lesa s podporo platforme InsideWood ter referenčne zbirke lesa Kraljevega muzeja za Srednjo Afriko v Tervurnu v Belgiji. Raziskano glasbilo (lesene citre) je bilo izdelano iz lesa vrste Musanga cecropioides, ročaj ščita iz vrste Alstonia sp., nožnica in bodalo iz Autranella congolensis ali sorodne vrste z visoko gostoto iz družine Sapotaceae, samostrel pa iz Nauclea diderichii (lok) in Xylopia sp. (ročaj). Identifikacija lesa je ponudila dodatne informacije o izvoru, poznavanju lesa in času zbiranja predmetov v KonguTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZveza lesarjev Slovenije
