Provenance
In 1902 Kepler handed over 92 objects from "German South-West Africa" (Namibia), "German East Africa" and "Lagos" to Graf von Linden. In his inventory Kepler divided the part of the collection from Namibia into the groups "Herero", "Bushmen", "Hottentots", "Bergdamaras", "Basterds" and "Ovambos". The fact that the collection contains rifles and cartridge belts could point to appropriation in the context of military confrontations. Text: Christoph Rippe.
