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. His first stay on the
island lasted 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
