Head Jewelry Piece
Composed of beads made from metal and fruit husks strung on leather cord. A sea shell ornament was added to the composition. At the time when this object was dispatched to Stuttgart, in Herero society similar jewellery pieces were most probably considered among the most valued personal possessions. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.

Dr. Anton Lübbert initially sent the collection to the Ethnological Museum in Berlin on the basis of the so-called Bundesrat resolution of 1889. Before it was forwarded to Stuttgart, Felix von Luschan selected and sorted the material there. In German South-West Africa, Lübbert had objects procured through "his collectors". Only a few months after the outbreak of the Herero-German War, in September 1904, Lübbert wrote to Linden that "it is already almost completely impossible to get Herero items". He had therefore "had the last stocks, which were in the hands of farmers and traders, bought up".
