In the museum documentation, "Mandjia" was used as a cultural attribution. The term "Arnado" used on the index card is a pejorative term for non-members of Muslim Fulbe groups. It was adopted by German colonial officers and officials in written sources and referred to the head of non-Muslim groups in the North and Far North regions of Cameroon.

Description
As a resident of the Adamaua administrative district, Kurt Strümpell carried out violent military interventions in the north of the German colony of Cameroon. He also undertook geographical, ethnographic and linguistic research. Between 1902 and 1907, he donated around 700 objects to the Braunschweig Municipal Museum. Numerous objects from Kurt Strümpell's collections ended up in the Ethnological Museum Berlin along with his photographic estate.
