Hair dart
Description on old index card: "4 hair arrows to hold the cap in place." The spelling of the cultural attribution varies in the sources; on the old index cards in the museum, the term "Bangua" is predominantly used. The decorative part of the pin could be a representation of a stylised frog. The second spiral (eye) consists of a separate piece of iron that is pulled through a hole in the main part and bent round. The three other hair arrows, including the spirals, consist of a single piece of iron.

Description
-
Military interventions against the "Bangwa" took place in the collection period between 1901-1902, in which Strümpell was involved as a lieutenant or first lieutenant of the German Schutztruppe. The structural connection between military penetration and collecting points to a context of violence in which Strümpell acquired the "Bangwa" collection.
