Wooden hammers of this kind were used for processing bast, in caulking or for tattooing. Bast, with its many applications, would be hammered to make it a soft and workable material, in mat weaving, for example. Hammers were used in conjunction with matching chisels to caulk the seams in the hulls of boats.
Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900 or November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900 or November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit)
The provenance of this object is unclear. An old inventory number is missing. In the New Inventory Book, the object is part of a group of 16 "wooden instruments" attributed to the Brandeis donation. On the index card from 1970, it is assigned to the 1st Brandeis donation from April 1900, but it is unclear how the dating came about. It can be assumed to belong to the Brandeis collection due to its similarity to comparable objects, but it is not possible to clearly assign it to the two items from 1900/1901. It may be a "wood for beating coconut fibre" like II/1385 or II/1390, which was not listed separately by the collector. Alternatively, it could also be "A small grater for pandanus paste" (object no. 82 of the 1st consignment, old inventory number 1358).
