Provenance
Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) Object no. 82 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 2nd consignment Nov 1901, SAF C3/241/2): "Belt from Yap. Rings a. Coconut shells". How the objects came from the Caroline Islands, Kiribati or New Guinea into the Brandeis collection is still unclear. Antonie Brandeis never spent any time there. In some cases, she received objects as gifts from naval officers or missionaries who visited her in Jaluit. In one letter she mentions, among other things, "pretty belts" sent to her by an unnamed contact from the Caroline Islands (letter from Antonie Brandeis to unknown, 1 August 1899, MNM). It is possible that this is one of these objects.
