Lower part of a coconut. The drinking cup's shell is thin, finely sanded, and blackened. On the outer surface, bright grains run from the centre to the edge. Three drawings with equal distance from each other: 1. flower, 2. three crossing fishes, 3. rooster. The lower outer tip is an applied narrow pierced piece. A thick ribbon with a rectangular piece of cardboard was pulled through it. Inner surface: darker to the centre, three black grains. How did the object come to the Übersee-Museum? The collection was purchased by the museum from Otto Tetens in 1907. Tetens was director of the Samoa Observatory of the Royal Society of Sciences in Göttingen in the colony of German Samoa from 1902 to 1905. Nothing is yet known about the exact circumstances of Tetens' acquisition on site.
