Object no. 88 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 2nd consignment 1901, SAF C3/241/2): "Axt. Wood and iron"
How the New Guinea objects came into the Brandeis couple's collection is still unclear. Possibly via the collector and employee of the trading company Hernsheim & Co. in Matupi (Bismarck Archipelago) Maximilian Franz Thiel. This is suggested by a letter dated 6 April 1899, which Eugen Brandeis sent from Jaluit to the Freiburg Museum of Natural History and Ethnology (SAF C3/241/1).
