Provenance
Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) Object no. 115 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900): "Kette. Marmat. White shells". The term "marmat" can be found in the collector's object list and was also included in the old inventory of the MNM, but is probably a spelling mistake. In the Marshall Islands, the term "marmar" would be appropriate for necklaces of this type.
