Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) Object no. 108 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Necklace. Bungi. Wall large tooth with shell and cocos". Additional comment by the collector on the value of the red shell: "Each shell has only one red spot, which is knocked out and then rubbed back and forth on a stone with a piece of bimming stone until the necessary shape and smoothness is achieved. This involves hours or even days of labour for each small link of the chain. This is why the bungis, No. 106-108, were so valuable and popular". (in: "Bemerkungen zu den dem Museum zu Freiburg /B. übersandten ethnologischen Gegenständen aus den Marshallinseln. South Seas". SAF D.Sm 35/1). According to the collector, the object comes from the Marshall Islands. Due to a misunderstanding in the old inventory book, the origin "Gilbert Islands" was passed on in the museum's documentation.
