Object no. 165 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Necklace. Shells". Additional note: "Necklaces no. 161-166 are particularly pretty and delicately worked, the black threads are women's hair." (in: "Bemerkungen zu den Museum zu Freiburg /B. übersandten ethnologischen Gegenständen aus den Marshallinseln. South Seas". SAF D.Sm 35/1).
The objects in the Brandeis collection from Nauru were apparently collected by the local district governor Ludwig Kaiser (SAF C3/241/1).
Due to the processing of human hair, this is a sensitive object.
