Mask
The exact usage contexts of wooden hooded masks from the Witu Islands are not known. However, it was surmised that these masks appeared during funeral ceremonies. The design of the traditional masks follows relatively strict conventions, with the elongated eye areas in blue being particularly striking. While the facial side of the mask has been given only little plasticity, the reverse side is decorated with carvings and an abstract painting. Text: Ulrich Menter

Albert Hahl
(1868-1945) was Vice-Governor of the Eastern Caroline Islands
(Micronesia) from 1899 to 1901 and held the office of Governor of German
New Guinea from 1902 to 1914. Even before this time, he was imperial
judge for the Bismarck Archipelago from 1896 to 1898, based in what was
then Herbertshöhe, now Rabaul in New Britain. The history of the
property before its acquisition by A. Hahl is currently unknown. Text:
