Bag
Description on old index card: "4-cornered, black striped bag woven from plant fibres with a carrying strap" Raphael bags were woven by men and, like embroidered robes, were regarded as status symbols. Finely crafted bags were used by dignitaries for their insignia and could have spiritual significance. The spelling of the cultural attribution varies in the sources; on the old index cards in the museum, the term "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.
