Provenance
The object is part of a collection of objects that Otto Zembsch (1841-1911) donated to the museum in 1902. Zembsch, who represented the German Empire from 1884 to 1885 as Consul General in Korea and from 1886 to 1901 as Ambassador to Peru, had been acting Consul of the German Empire in Sāmoa since 1879. It is probable that the objects from Sāmoa were acquired in the period before 1884. Text: Ulrich Menter
