Lower part of a coconut shell. The shell is thin, but not abraded. The color is natural brown, the texture: rough outside, smooth inside. On one half there are black areas inside. Inside and outside, three grains run in a star shape to the lower tip. Outside this is formed by the grains, so that the top has three side surfaces, which are pierced. A braided ribbon knotted at the ends has been pulled through two holes.
On the outer surface there are several cracks arranged in a circle around the center.
How did the object come to the Übersee-Museum?
The collection was purchased by the museum from Otto Tetens in 1907. Tetens was director of the Samoa Observatory of the Royal Society of Sciences in Göttingen in the colony of German Samoa from 1902 to 1905. Nothing is yet known about the exact circumstances of Tetens' acquisition on site.
