Abstract (en)
A pair of painted wooden sculptures called Jonah exiting from the whale, stored in the Estonian History Museum, were investigated for their dendrochronological dating. Only one statue was accessible for tree-ring measurement. It appeared to be made of pine, while the counterpart statue was made of spruce. The pine statue was dated, and the provenance of the wood was determed: most probably the pine has grown in Karelia. Tree species and manufacturing features refer to a possible different origin of the two statues.
