Mahogany wood club. At one end the club is pointed, at the other it widens and ends in a butt. There is a ring-shaped basalt knob on the butt that encloses the stick. Clubs existed and still exist in Oceania in many different forms; they were not only used as weapons of war, but also as status symbols for men, which were intended to express the possession and identity of the bearer, or were used ritually. The object comes from the collection of the pharmacist, writer and doctor Albert Daiber (1857 - 1928), who travelled to the South Seas from April to September 1900, visiting German and British colonial territories. Stops included Australia, the Bismarck Archipelago, the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, the Caroline and Mariana Islands and China (Hong Kong). He described his experiences in the 1902 travelogue "Eine Australien- und Südseefahrt". Albert Daiber emigrated to Chile in 1909. Before that, he handed over the objects he had collected on his journey to Otto Leube in Ulm, who initially kept the collection and left it to the Museum of the City of Ulm as a deposit after Daiber's death in 1930.
