Coarse weave, from pandanus leaves" Additional comment: "Gilbert Islands: This group is under English suzerainty, and the population is ethnologically distinct from the Marshall Islanders. The baskets No. 96 and 181 were made there, as were the mats No. 14a and 14b" (in: "Bemerkungen zu den dem Museum zu Freiburg /B. übersandten ethnologischen Gegenständen aus den Marshallinseln. South Seas". SAF D.Sm 35/1).
How the objects from Kiribati (Gilbert Islands) came into the Brandeis collection is still unclear at present. Antonie Brandeis never stayed there. In some cases, she received objects as gifts from naval officers or missionaries who visited her in Jaluit.
