Summary

source of guilds, workshops and tools of Hungarian handcraft; in price and wage restrictions; furthermore in publishing the bibliography of history of handcrafts. Last but not least, after having been fighting since the creation of the first plan in 1955, he accomplished that craftmanship should get a separate and - due to its importancea thick volume as the third volume of the serial of Hungarian Folkart. He was not only the main editor of this but he was also the writer of several chapters and the introduction, which was a serious overall historical summary of the discussed area. A collègue, while being an outsider, can only look at his achivements on the basis of his comprehensive, educating exhibitions that he organised during his life-work. Such ethnographical exhibitions were the "Trade Guilds" shown in Kismarton, Győr and Vienna in 1 983-84, "The History of Guilds in the 1 8th - 1 9th Century", "At That Time" organized in Szálának and Győr in 1987, "Folk Culture in Western-Pannónia Around 1900", and "Handcraft - Folkart" shown in the Museum of Sopron in 1994. Pamphlet guides made by him helped visitors to understand these exhibitions. There are two examples of his good sense and practical way of organising: the Dyer-in-blue Museum opened in Pápa in 1962 and the Baker's Museum set up in Sopron in 1975. The later one does not only show the earlier home of the baker but it is also a museum of lifestyle of the lower middle-class. He wrote information pamphlets to both museums. He also opened "landscape houses" in Fertőszéplak in 1982. The study titled "Desribing the Changes of Life and Livingstyle Between 1850 and 1950" is the work of his apprentice and collègue called Kucsán József, who äteo wrote the information pamphlets of the houses. What else could I as a collègue, friend and admirer add to the description of his life-work? I wish plenty of years of energy and ability to continue his work. T. SZŐNYI Eszter: Bronze statue fundings in Árpás-Dombiföld, roman era As a part of a sculptural group containing bronze piece remainings of a cast bronze statue were found in 1990 by a metal detector eastwards from the area of a town from Roman age where excavations took place in 1975-1989 (pict. 1). The pieces had already been prepared for melting. The vicinity of a bronze-smith workshop had earlier been discovered in the discussed area mainly due to some fractions of a cast form and some scraping losses. According to stratigraphie datas it's stamming from the late 100s early 300s. The definable pieces (pict. 2) could have belonged to an ornamentally armoured imperial sculpture group (pict.3) being a little above human size. Depending on the two different hair remainings (hair, beard) - the only ones which could be defined among those of little importance - Hadrianus or emperors after him could have been taken into consideration. Only the "pteryg" remainings can be used for art historical analysis (pict. 2.1 ). According to Stemmer the Hadrianus era equals with the Antonius era so the fraction could either portray Antonius Pius or Marcus Aurelius. The original source of the damaged statue being only usable as raw material can be Mursella but it's also possible that it had been taken here for preparation from a bigger neighbouring settlement (e.g.: Arrabona).
