Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) Object no. 5 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Rack for drying pandanus. Bui". Additional comment: "Coconut is either eaten raw or scraped and cooked with rice. Arrow-root is also placed inside and turned over. The squeezed juice is used as an accompaniment to all dishes. Pandanus is eaten raw or boiled. A preserve is prepared by scraping the cooked fruits individually over the shells No. 24 and 25 or coconut No. 26, pouring them onto coconut bast No. 97 and drying them on a frame model No. 5 in the sun." (in: "Bemerkungen zu den dem Museum zu Freiburg /B. übersandten ethnologischen Gegenständen aus den Marshallinseln. South Seas". SAF D.Sm 35/1). In her 1908 text "South Sea Memories" (Deutsche Kolonialzeitung vol. 25, no. 3), Antonie Brandeis mentions that she "had old people make specimens of utensils from earlier times that no longer exist today" (p. 37), without, however, specifying this for individual objects. It can be assumed that this could refer in particular to the models made for the collection.
