Provenance
Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) Object no. 119 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Kette. Marmat. White and black shells", ["schw. Cocos" crossed out]. The term "marmat" can be found in the collector's object list and was also included in the MNM's old inventory, but is probably a spelling mistake. In the Marshall Islands, the term "marmar" would be appropriate for necklaces of this type.
