Provenance
The Linden Museum received this object in 1913 from the Royal Natural History Cabinet in Stuttgart. It was acquired by Augustin Krämer, director of the Linden Museum from 1911 to 1915, in Sāmoa. There he first stayed from 1893 to 1895 as a naval surgeon on the SMS Bussard stationed in Apia. A second journey took him again to Sāmoa between 1897 and 1899. The date of the acquisition of the object and the exact circumstances of the acquisition are not yet known. Text: Ulrich Menter
