Bowl <vessel>
An unadorned eating bowl made of wood. Even simple bowls were extremely valuable throughout Oceania and were used mainly by leading clanspeople. A job performed by men, they are carved from a single piece of wood.The object comes from Eugen Brandeis' collection, who was stationed on the island of Jaluit as governor for the German colonial government from 1898 until 1906. However, most of this ethnographic collection donated to the museum was collected by his wife Antonie Brandeis.

Object no. 92 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 2nd consignment 1901, SAF C3/241/2): "Bowl. Wood. As eating utensil"
How the New Guinea objects came into the Brandeis couple's collection is still unclear. Possibly via the collector and employee of the trading company Hernsheim & Co. in Matupi (Bismarck Archipelago) Maximilian Franz Thiel. This is suggested by a letter dated 6 April 1899, which Eugen Brandeis sent from Jaluit to the Freiburg Museum of Natural History and Ethnology (SAF C3/241/1).
