Palmwood spear with a wooden point with carved barbs on both sides. The shaft is not decorated. The tip is attached to the shaft with rattan braid.
In the inventory book, this spear is labelled as a "Buka spear", which suggests an origin from the northern Solomon Islands (Buka Island). However, it is more likely to have originated on the island of New Guinea or in the Bismarck Archipelago.
The spear belongs to the collection of the pharmacist, writer and doctor Albert Daiber (1857 - 1928), who travelled to the South Seas from April to September 1900, which took him to what were then German and British colonial territories. Stops included Australia, the Bismarck Archipelago, the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, the Caroline and Mariana Islands and China (Hong Kong).
He described his experiences in the 1902 travelogue "Eine Australien- und Südseefahrt".
Albert Daiber emigrated to Chile in 1909. Before that, he handed over the objects he had collected on his journey to Otto Leube in Ulm, who initially kept the collection and then donated it to the Museum of the City of Ulm as a deposit after Daiber's death in 1930.
