Fleshed-out coconuts, which were then smooth inside, were fastened with string and taken aboard long sea voyages to be used as drinking vessels as well for collecting rainwater. They could be closed using a plug made from palm leaves.
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. 84 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Two entwined N. Boga in irak. As a drinking vessel for travelling" [second nut = 1361 II/1293]. Additional comment: "The smooth-scraped coconuts No. 83-89 are indispensable to the islanders [...] The tightly braided nuts were used as drinking vessels for rainwater on sea voyages. The simply braided ones were hung under palm trees to catch the rainwater. A tied dry pandanus leaf channelled the water flowing down the trunk directly into the hole in the nut." (in: "Bemerkungen zu den dem Museum zu Freiburg /B. übersandten ethnologischen Gegenständen aus den Marshallinseln. South Seas". SAF D.Sm 35/1).
