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. 109 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "A Wallroßzahn. Ni in radj." According to the collector, it is a piece of jewellery and its origin is the Marshall Islands. The object was not listed as a piece of jewellery in the old inventory, but was inventoried together with other pieces of jewellery according to the collector's object list. Due to a misreading of the entry at a later date, the object was erroneously listed as coming from the Gilbert Islands. In the new inventory under II/1415 there is the entry "Walrus tooth as a reamer" and origin "Gilbert Islands". This was adopted accordingly on the 1968 index card. Whether it is a "Reiber" or a piece of jewellery remains unclear. As there are no walruses in the warm waters of Oceania, it is probably the tooth of a whale, possibly a sperm whale. Whale teeth were highly valued as prestige objects and gifts in Oceania, so it could well be a piece of jewellery.
