Provenance
The provenance of this object is unclear. It has the old inventory number 1462, which refers to object no. 184 from the object list of the 1st consignment from Brandeis in April 1900: "A piece of ironwood planted in the ground to tear off the outer coconut shell. Rou in wäni." Origin according to the collector Marshall Islands. In the New Inventory Book, the handwritten additions "Grabstock" and "Centralaustralien Aranda" were added to object II/1461, presumably after Dr Kußmaul's appraisal. On the undated index card for II/1461, the object is described as a "Grabstock" from Aranda, Central Australia and "Gift from Governor Brandeis 1901". However, there are no objects from Australia in the Brandeis donation, even though the Brandeis couple stopped off in Australia on their travels to the Marshall Islands. It is therefore either object no. 184 from Brandeis or an Australian object from another collection.
