Samoan fans have been handed down in many different designs as widely used objects of daily use. Frequently represented in collections are fans with a wooden handle, the upper end of which is braided with strips of coconut leaves, which also form the fan leaf. Text: Ulrich Menter

This fan
traces back to the collection of the Museum Godeffroy in Hamburg, which
was dissolved in 1885. The museum preserved objects which captains and
explorers of the trading company "Joh. Ces. Godeffroy & Sohn" had
been bringing or sending back to Hamburg mainly from the South Seas
since 1861. The provenance of the fan before its arrival at the Museum
Godeffroy is currently unknown. Text: Ulrich
