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. 112 (Object list Antone Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Kette. Marmat. Large brown and white shells".
The term "marmat" is found in the collector's object list and was also included in the old inventory of the MNM, but is probably a spelling mistake. In the Marshall Islands, the term "marmar" would be appropriate for necklaces of this type.
