As widely used objects Samoan fans have been handed down in many different designs. Frequently represented in collections are fans with a wooden handle, the upper end of which is braided with strips of coconut leaves, which also form the fan leaf. Text: Ulrich Menter

Provenance
The object is part of a collection that the Linden Museum received from the Royal Natural History Cabinet in Stuttgart in 1913. Augustin Krämer, who was the first director of the Linden Museum from 1911 to 1915, acquired it during one of his stays on the Samoan islands. As a naval surgeon on the SMS Bussard stationed in Apia, Krämer initially stayed at Sāmoa from 1893 to 1895. A second voyage, during which he also visited Hawai'i and the Gilbert Islands (Kiribati), took him again to Sāmoa between 1897 and 1899. The date of the acquisition of the object and the exact circumstances of the acquisition are not yet known.
