Skilfully designed and crafted so as to function efficiently under specific conditions and for specific types of prey, in Namibia arrows were also elegantly shaped and decorated so as to provide an aesthetic effect. Thus, they not only performed a specific function, but also expressed both the cosmology and the personality of their owners. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.

The collection came into the museum on loan in 1923, and shortly before his death in 1932, Maag donated the collection to the museum. According to the information in the new acquisitions book, Maag "collected [all objects] himself in situ".
