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. 122 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Kette. Marmat. Grey shells". Additional comment: "The islanders wear necklaces of tortoiseshell shells and dolphin teeth [No. 98-128. Necklaces] as jewellery around their necks". (in: "Bemerkungen zu den dem Museum zu Freiburg /B. übersandten ethnologischen Gegenständen aus den Marshallinseln. South Seas". SAF D.Sm 35/1). The term "marmat" is found in the collector's list of objects, but is probably a spelling mistake. In the Marshall Islands, the term "marmar" would be more appropriate for necklaces of this type. In the old inventory, the object was listed under "marmar".
