Arrows
Skilfully designed and crafted so as to function efficiently under specific conditions and for specific types of prey, in Namibia arrows were also elegantly shaped and decorated so as to provide an aesthetic effect. Thus, they not only performed a specific function, but also expressed both the cosmology and the personality of their owners. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.

Dr. Anton Lübbert initially sent the collection to the Ethnological Museum in Berlin on the basis of the so-called Bundesrat resolution of 1889. Before it was forwarded to Stuttgart, Felix von Luschan selected and sorted the material there. In German South-West Africa, Lübbert had objects procured through "his collectors". Only a few months after the outbreak of the Herero-German War, in September 1904, Lübbert wrote to Linden that "it is already almost completely impossible to get Herero items". He had therefore "had the last stocks, which were in the hands of farmers and traders, bought up".
