Stadtarchiv Hildesheim, Best. 741, No. 204, "Verschiedene Erwerbungen und Geschenke für die Völkerkundesammlung, 1874-1937": Letter from Adam Koch (curator at the Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt), 8 March 1900 to Director A. Andreae, Former soldier of the Schutztruppe in German Southwest Africa has offered ethnographic objects for sale, but the Senckenberg Museum cannot use them. 8 "various very peculiar items of clothing including headdresses and weapons". Purchased by the Roemer Museum, see Hildesheim City Archives, order 741 no. 20, "Receipts for the invoice of the Verein für Kunde der Natur und Kunst and Roemer Museum for the year 1900", receipt no. 305 dated 23 March 1900, payment order for Adam Koch, Senckenberg, 80 marks "for a suite of weapons and women's jewellery from S. W. Africa, Epukiro station". A letter from Andreae dated 27 March 1900, in which he presents Herero artefacts to the Hamburg. It suggests that the purchase from Frankfurt included at least one woman's bonnet (ekori), and obviously also this necklace V 1352. The other objects from this purchase are not labelled in the inv. book. It is not entirely clear whether Koch bought the objects from the previous owner and sold them on to the Roemer Museum or whether he sold the objects to the museum on behalf of the previous owner. In any case, Koch issued the invoice and payment was made to him.
