This object probably belongs to the collection of Antonie and Eugen Brandeis, even if it cannot be precisely identified. It may be no. 182 or no. 183 of the first Brandeis consignment from Jaluit in April 1900, there with the old inventory numbers 1460 and 1461: "A spear for a chieftain's son. Coconut palm trunk blackened with charcoal and coconut oil" (object list, SAF D.Sm 35/1).
The two spears 1460+1461 are listed in the Old Inventory (but not until 1902, so possibly later).
