Chain woven from plant fibre

Contact the institution

A link chain made from braided, twisted plant fibre. The chain has a brownish colour; the fibre has probably darkened and was originally lighter, probably yellow. The necklace probably comes from the collection of the Kunst- und Wunderkammer of the Ulm merchant Christoph Weickmann and must therefore have been made before 1659. According to a catalogue from 1930, the necklace is said to originate from Central or West Africa.
