| Notes |
English: Kwila or Ebony wood is carved to make these spatulars from the Trobriand or Woodlark Islands. It is carved with incised designs at the base of the handle and the top end of the handles.
This particular one is decoratively carved with incised patterns and painted with white lime but plainer ones are more commonly used to fill the mouth with lime. This is then chewed with the astringent betel nut (areca) to provide those partaking with a feeling of euphoria. (Grace Vele)
Deutsch: Diese Spatel werden aus Kwila- oder Ebenholz gefertigt und stammen von den Trobriand- oder Woodlark-Inseln.
Dieses Exemplar ist geschnitzten Mustern verziert und mit weißem Kalk bestrichen. Häufig werden schlichtere Exemplare verwendet, um Kalk in den Mund zu führen. Dieser wird dann zusammen mit der adstringierenden Betelnuss (areca) gekaut, um ein Gefühl der Euphorie zu erzeugen. (Grace Vele)
Tok Pisin: Ol lain lo Massim ol save usim dewai blo Ebony lo wokim ol Kena blo ol na tu olsave makim ol kainkain lain na cecol o olsave decoratim nais stret. Sampla taim ol save usim kambang lo kalarim handol sait blo Kena o hap diwai blo skelim kambang. |

The estate of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, owned by the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation at the Brücke Museum, contains his collection of around 100 sculptures and objects with colonial backgrounds. The Brücke artist himself never travelled outside Europe and, to the best of current knowledge, bought these objects in the art trade and from private owners from the 1910s onwards. The collection includes ritual and everyday objects, alongside souvenirs for the Western market. The way they were perceived underwent changes: they came to be seen as objects of art and decoration. Little is known of their origins, the circumstances of their acquisition, or the historical and current importance of the objects. Most of them originate from Germany’s former colonies, thus referring directly to German Expressionists’ entanglements in the often unlawful appropriation of material culture in colonially occupied lands.
