Provenance and sources
Provenance
Volkmann's
four collections came to the Linden Museum between 1903 and 1904. As he
himself wrote in his letters to Graf von Linden, he acquired the objects
himself in situ shortly before or in 1903 and 1904. The majority of the
objects originate from the Kalahari region around Sandvelde and
Grootfontein. The objects from the Okavango region probably originate
from the territory of present-day Botswana, including the area of "King
Andara", to whom Volkmann paid a diplomatic visit in 1903. Volkmann does
not describe in detail how he acquired the objects, except by using the
commonly used word "collecting". Text: Christoph
Rippe.
