Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit)
Object no. 18 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Old fan. Rèal. Palm leaf, border of raffia and pandanus". Additional comment: "The fans no. 19 and 20 are worked in a similar way to the mats. In No. 21 and 20 a young, white and dried palm leaf forms the centre. No. 17 and 18 are no longer worked. The fans are used as a defence against flies and mosquitoes. If someone is ill, they are fanned by relatives alternately day and night." (in: "Bemerkungen zu den dem Museum zu Freiburg /B. übersandten ethnologischen Gegenständen aus den Marshallinseln. South Seas". SAF D.Sm 35/1).
According to the collector, this fan comes from the Marshall Islands. This was also noted in the old inventory book. On the index card from 1968 and in the new inventory book, however, Gilbert Islands was given as the origin, but it is unclear why.
