About the object
Wooden bowls were used on the Admiralty Islands both in everyday life and on special occasions. Even such a simple, unadorned bowl was considered a valuable object. The object comes from Eugen Brandeis' collection, who was stationed on the island of Jaluit as governor for the German colonial government from 1898 until 1906. However, most of this ethnographic collection donated to the museum was collected by his wife Antonie Brandeis, who also documented the objects in detail.
