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. 178 (Object list Antonie Brandeis 1st consignment 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Oah in meddow. Shells and wood" The old inventory number is probably 1456. The map is a so-called rebbelib, it shows a complete view of the Marshall Islands, from Bikini in the north to Ebon in the south, presumably already orientated on European nautical charts (see Winkler 1898). In her commentary on the first despatch of 1900 (SAF D.Sm 35/1), Antonie Brandeis refers to Winkler's article to explain the maps she sent along. Since Winkler presents similar maps in his article, which he had already donated to the Ethnological Museum in Berlin in 1898 (e.g. VI/15281), it can be assumed that the stick cards in the Brandeis collection are reproductions that were produced commercially for European collectors from a certain point in time. This is also supported by the excellent condition of the map and the use of different shells, which is unusual. Maps like this were usually made by chiefs. Unfortunately, it is not known by whom.
