Dried cone from a park in Sydney; spherical with lamellae. The cone is braided with wire, which is twisted into an eyelet at the top for hanging and to which a dried branch/flower stem is attached.
This is probably the fruit of the kauri tree, also known as kauri spruce (Agathis). It is not clear which specific species this cone belongs to, as the collector mixes several terms from different species in his descriptions, but it can be assumed that it is a cone from the dammara tree (Agathis dammara).
The object comes from the collection of the pharmacist, writer and doctor Albert Daiber (1857 - 1928), who travelled to the South Seas from April to September 1900, visiting German and British colonial territories. Stops included Australia, the Bismarck Archipelago, the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, the Caroline and Mariana Islands and China (Hong Kong).
He described his experiences in the 1902 travelogue "Eine Australien- und Südseefahrt".
Albert Daiber emigrated to Chile in 1909. Before that, he handed over the objects he had collected on his journey to Otto Leube in Ulm, who initially kept the collection and then donated it to the Museum of the City of Ulm as a deposit after Daiber's death in 1930.
