About this work
Overview
The object identified as “Pasăre” is a painted work mounted in a light‑brown wooden frame. The frame displays the natural grain of the timber and is held together with small metal nails. Its condition shows signs of age, including minor cracks and areas of discoloration, indicating prolonged use or exposure.
Technique & Style
The frame’s simple construction lacks ornamental detailing, emphasizing a utilitarian aesthetic. Near the upper right corner of the backing a paper label is affixed, bearing handwritten markings such as “833” and the letters “UM.” These notations appear to be cataloguing references used by the museum staff for inventory purposes.
History & Provenance
While the image of the painted surface is not visible, the presence of the museum label suggests the work belongs to the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The labeling system implies it has been formally accessioned and recorded within that institution’s holdings.
Context
The Museum of Ethnography, which maintains the object, specializes in cultural artifacts and visual documentation. The inclusion of “Pasăre” within its holdings reflects the museum’s broader mandate to preserve works that hold ethnographic or regional significance, even when the visual content of the piece itself is not presently displayed.
