Flute
Description on old index card: "(...) worn as an amulet."Such ivory flutes were also worn as a sign of dignity by higher-ranking people (Evelin Haase 2013). The opening was held to the mouth to whistle. There is a small opening in the lower tapered part. A hole at the tip was used for suspension. The spelling of the cultural attribution varies in the sources; on the old index cards in the museum, the term "Bangua" is predominantly used.

Description
-
Military interventions against the "Bangwa" took place in the collection period between 1901-1902, in which Strümpell was involved as a lieutenant or first lieutenant of the German Schutztruppe. The structural connection between military penetration and collecting points to a context of violence in which Strümpell acquired the "Bangwa" collection. As the attribution of the object to the "Bangwa" is unclear on the basis of the documentation, it remains unclear whether these military interventions apply as the context of acquisition.
