The provenance of this object is unclear. The old inventory number is only partially legible: 143x. Presumably it is one of the Nauru objects no. 152 (old inv. no. 1430) or 153 (old inv. no. 1431) from the object list for Antonie Brandeis' 1st consignment of April 1900 (SAF D.Sm 35/1). Supplementary comment on II/1462, no. 151: "No. 151-153 were used as throwing weapons made from the trunk of a palm tree. These weapons are now very rare to find."
