Purchase from the Völkerkundemuseum Frankfurt a. M. (1904 -1946), 11 October 1907
The Frankfurt museum bought the slit drum from Friedrich Wandres (1870-1937) from Gengenbach in Breisgau. He acquired the object during the German colonial period in Papua New Guinea (1884-1914), where he worked as a plantation manager for the New Guinea Company at the trading station Stephansort (near Bogadjim). It is not known how he came into possession of the object.
