Head Jewelry Piece
Composed of beads made from metal strung on leather cords. At the time when this object was dispatched to Stuttgart, in Herero society similar pieces were most probably considered among the most valued personal possessions. According to the museum's historical records, this object belonged to a member of the Herero social elite of the time, but they do not mention his name. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.

In 1907, First Lieutenant Kurt Freiherr Treusch von Buttlar-Brandenfels donated a collection of 19 objects to the Linden Museum (including a photographic panel). Of the originally received objects, 13 still exist. Between February and April 1904, Buttlar-Brandenfels had taken part in hostilities against Herero troops in central Namibia, near Otjihinamaparero, Omatako, Otjinoanaua, Omaruru and Onganjira. 18 objects from the collection were captured during six different combat operations. According to written information from Buttlar-Brandenfels, the headdress was "found" in the house of a "great Herero man" after the battle of Onganjira on April 9, 1904.
