Human-animal figure with medicine container
Human figure with animal ears and bird's beak. The eyes are filled with resin, one eye is damaged. The other eye is painted white (later?). There is a square medicine container on the back. The figure may have been used by healers or fortune-tellers for "remote healing". The spelling of the cultural attribution varies in the sources; on the old index cards in the museum, the designation "Bangua" is predominantly used.

Description
-
Military interventions against the "Bangwa" took place in the collection period between 1901-1902, in which Strümpell was involved as a lieutenant or first lieutenant of the German Schutztruppe. The structural connection between military penetration and collecting points to a context of violence in which Strümpell acquired the "Bangwa" collection.
