The
pointed oval shape of Hawaiian sling stones was created by protracted
grinding. They served as long-range weapons and could be hurled over
long distances with the slingshots (ma'a) woven from solid plant fibres.

The object
traces back to the collection of the Ethnological Museum Berlin (VI 8398
c) and came to the Linden Museum in 1939 through an object exchange with
Arthur Speyer. It was acquired by the physician Eduard Arning
(1855-1936), who stayed in the Kingdom of Hawai'i from 1883-1886. Text:
