D05434 fan
The Samoan coconut fan is decorated with lots of extra details. It is bordered and decorated with dark brown pandanus bast and a triangular shape. The wooden handle is decorated and tied with black European cloth, crisscrossed with pandanus fibres. How did the object come to the Übersee-Museum? The collection was purchased by the museum from Otto Tetens in 1907. Tetens was director of the Samoa Observatory of the Royal Society of Sciences in Göttingen in the colony of German Samoa from 1902 to 1905. Nothing is yet known about the exact circumstances of Tetens' acquisition on site.
