Description
The objects were offered in the 1899 catalogue of duplicates that could be sold, page 9, "Collection of Governor Schmiele, 126 items from Kaiser-Wilhelmsland, the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands." Pieces from all these regions were offered as duplicates, including a spear with cassowary bone from New Ireland (No. 2, VII B 15) and a necklace with coix (No. 13, VII B 123) from Kaiser-Wilhelms-Land. In the copy of the catalogue in the Berlin duplicate file, "Hildesheim" is noted by hand for these two objects. However, the jewellery necklace V 894 with shell rings and dog teeth is neither in the list nor in the letter in which Director Andreae made his wishes known on 4 April 1899; in addition to the spear with cassowary bone and the Coix necklace, he ordered a wood carving and a shell trumpet from the Schmiele collection.
