According to
the historical inventory book and acquisition list, the object was
acquired by Augustin Krämer in Hawai'i in 1897. However, the shape and
design of the tapa beater points to Tahiti or the Society Islands as the
tool's place of origin. The exact provenance of the object is currently
unknown. Text: Ulrich Menter
