| Notes |
English: The glass beads that adorn this palm wine bottle are an imported product from Europe and bear witness to Cameroon's history of interconnectedness and innovations in artistic workshops in the Grasslands. Magnificent palm wine bottles were carried by the king's wives or courtiers on special occasions or displayed lined up, testifying to the wealth of the court. The consumption or spilling of palm wine was an important element of ritual ceremonies.
Deutsch: Die Glasperlen, die diese Palmweinflasche zieren, sind ein Importprodukt aus Europa und zeugen von der Verflechtungsgeschichte Kameruns und den Innovationen in künstlerischen Werkstätten des Graslandes. Prächtige Palmweinflaschen wurden von Höflingen oder den Frauen des Königs zu besonderen Anlässen getragen oder aufgereiht zur Schau gestellt und zeugten vom Reichtum des Hofes. Der Verzehr oder das Verschütten von Palmwein war ein wichtiges Element von rituellen Zeremonien. |

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.
