Knocker <tool>
Sturdy ironwood 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 (II/1377) to caulk the seams in the hulls of boats. During the tattooing process, small wooden sticks (II/1379.01), subsequently applied with colour, were used to punch patterns in the skin.

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 is possibly the hammer belonging to the tattooing tool II/1369 (no. 30, object list Antonie Brandeis, 2nd consignment Nov 1901, SAF C3/241/2) or also the hammer for calfing from no. 44 of the same consignment (old inventory number 1266).
