    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.
