Composed of metal beads strung on cord of leather. At the time when these particular objects were dispatched to Stuttgart, this kind of body adornment was among the most highly valued personal possessions for a woman in Herero societies. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.

Dr. Anton Lübbert initially sent the collection to the Ethnological Museum in Berlin on the basis of the so-called Bundesrat resolution of 1889. Before it was forwarded to Stuttgart, Felix von Luschan selected and sorted the material there. In German South-West Africa, Lübbert had objects procured through "his collectors". Only a few months after the outbreak of the Herero-German War, in September 1904, Lübbert wrote to Linden that "it is already almost completely impossible to get Herero items". He had therefore "had the last stocks, which were in the hands of farmers and traders, bought up".
