The provenance of this object is unclear. An old inventory number is missing. According to the new inventory, a dance apron from the "Marshall Islands (Nauru)" and part of the Brandeis donation. The object list for the first donation from April 1900 contains two corresponding skirts, neither of which has received a new inventory number and whose status is unclear: No. 170 (old inv. no. 1448) "Tanzschurz. Palm leaves" and no. 171 (old inv. no. 1449) "Dance skirt. Pandanus root, hair, crushed aerial roots". It can be assumed that II/1425 is one of these two.
The objects in the Brandeis collection from Nauru were apparently collected by the local district governor Ludwig Kaiser (SAF C3/241/1).
