Pin comb
Ornamental combs were a popular Samoan hair decoration until the 20th century. In addition to finely carved combs made of wood, combs made of coconut leaf ribs tied together were used. The weaves, which were often set with glass beads, consisted of very fine plant fibres or hair. Text: Ulrich Menter

The object is
part of a collection that the Linden Museum received from the Royal
Natural History Cabinet in Stuttgart in 1913. Augustin Krämer, who was
the first director of the Linden Museum from 1911 to 1915, acquired it
during one of his stays on the Samoan islands. As a naval surgeon on the
SMS Bussard stationed in Apia, Krämer initially stayed at Sāmoa from
1893 to 1895. A second voyage, during which he also visited Hawai'i and
the Gilbert Islands (Kiribati), took him again to Sāmoa between 1897 and
1899. The date of the acquisition of the object and the exact
circumstances of the acquisition are not yet known. Text: Ulrich
