Wooden vessel from Namibia for milking or for milk. The handle consists of a leather strap and is attached to two wooden eyes on the side of the vessel.
The object was a gift from the sergeant-lieutenant Friedrich Wenning (* 1873) to the city of Ulm, which presented it to the Gewerbemuseum in February 1907. Wenning was with the Kaiserliche Schutztruppe for German South West Africa in what is now Namibia from 1905 to the end of 1906. According to the inventory book, the vessel comes from Johannes Christian's camp near Warmbad. Johannes Christian was the captain of the Bondelswart from November 1903, who rebelled against the German colonial occupation from 1903 and fought together with the Nama against the colonial protection troops from 1904.
As a member of the Kaiserliche Schutztruppe, Wenning was presumably involved in the fighting. It is possible that he acquired the vessel in the course of pursuing the Bondelswart fighters, who had fled their camp in a hurry.
