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. 20 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Doppel-Fächer. Rèal edj in ir. Pandanusbl. u. Bast as with the mats". Additional comment: "The fans No. 19 and 20 are worked in a similar way to the mats. In No. 21 and 20, a young, white and dried palm leaf forms the centre. [...] The fans serve as a defence against flies and mosquitoes. If someone is ill, they are fanned by relatives alternately day and night." Fan II/1259 is not a double fan. It is unclear whether this is an erroneous entry on the part of the collector or a mix-up in the inventory. It is also possible that the very similar fan II/1257 is a double fan that was separated, as both objects were labelled as "double fans" by the collector.
