Provenance
This object was purchased, among many others, by the Naturalienkabinett Stuttgart in 1913. According to the documentation, the objects were "collected" by the brother of the object donor, H. Schäfer, during an expedition with Max Esser in 1896 along the Kunene River. It is unclear on which side of the river this happened and so it is also unclear whether the objects originate from today's Angola or today's Namibia. Text: Christoph Rippe.
