While calabash vessels were generally used in ancient Hawai'i, finely crafted wooden bowls were reserved for the higher ranks of Hawaiian society. The value of these vessels is also indicated by the repairs that were made to damaged bowls. This bowl has a total of three almost invisible repairs. Text: Ulrich Menter

This bowl was purchased by the physician Eduard Arning, who stayed in the Kingdom of Hawai'i from 1883-1886. The object was part of the collection of the Ethnological Museum Berlin and came to the Linden-Museum Stuttgart in 1939 through an object exchange with Arthur Speyer.
