Samoan neckrests usually consist of a bamboo segment to which wooden or curved bamboo feet are attached. Here the feet are missing; perhaps because of the large diameter of the bamboo cane, a further height increase was not necessary. Text: Ulrich Menter

The missionary Heinrich Fellmann (1871-1941) donated this neckrest to the museum in 1903 as part of a larger collection. Together with his wife Johanna Class, Fellmann lived in Raluana, New Britain, from 1897 to 1912. Here he maintained close contacts with the planter Richard Parkinson and his Samoan-American wife Phoebe Parkinson, as well as with her sister, the entrepreneur Emma Kolbe (1850-1914), also known as "Queen Emma". It is quite probable that the Samoan objects in the collection can be traced back to Fellmann's relationship with Queen Emma and the Parkinsons. A more precise provenance of the objects in the collection is not yet known.
