Provenance
As head of the districts of Otjimbingwe and Karibib, "German South-West Africa", Kuhn undertook more extensive travels on which he also acquired objects. The manner in which he did this is unknown. From the correspondence preserved at the Linden Museum, we learn that Kuhn was in contact with Catholic missionaries in the north and Protestant missionaries in the south. He had encouraged both groups to "collect" for him. Text: Christoph Rippe.
