Wooden bowls were used on the Admiralty Islands both in everyday life and on special occasions. Even such a simple, unadorned bowl was considered a valuable object.The object comes from Eugen Brandeis' collection, who was stationed on the island of Jaluit as governor for the German colonial government from 1898 until 1906. However, most of this ethnographic collection donated to the museum was collected by his wife Antonie Brandeis, who also documented the objects in detail.
Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit)
Object no. 93 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 2nd consignment 1901, SAF C3/241/2): "Bowl. Wood. As eating utensil"
How the New Guinea objects came into the Brandeis couple's collection is still unclear. Possibly via the collector and employee of the trading company Hernsheim & Co. in Matupi (Bismarck Archipelago) Maximilian Franz Thiel. This is suggested by a letter dated 6 April 1899, which Eugen Brandeis sent from Jaluit to the Freiburg Museum of Natural History and Ethnology (SAF C3/241/1).
