Provenance
Graf mentions in his object list that at least three objects of the collection, a spear and two clubs (70782, 70788, 70789) "were used in the last Herero uprising against the Germans". Since he himself was actively involved in these battles from 1906 to 1908, it is obvious that he acquired these objects, at least, during or after combat operations. Text: Christoph Rippe.
