Description
"Friday, May 30, 1906 [underlined] In the evening a short walk with Max. We were surprised by heavy rain. From 2 Masai we bought: ear jewelry made of red clay, decorated with a few white & blue glass beads. Cf. Diary 43 p. 104. So far I have only seen such things made of wood [p. 108] (= 25 Heller). Then a necklace like the one already acquired on p. 41 [...] (= 12 Heller). According to the work of M. Merker. The Masai (Berlin 1904) p. 346, this jewelry is named after the liana from which it is made ol mogou - gora "The root bark, strongly smelling of vanilla, is tightly twisted like string and worn as a necklace (ol orowil) by men & women. It is also used as secret medicine by the ol oiboni and ol goiatiki. The scientific name is not known. It is said to occur in river forests [?]." [translation]
