Provenance
The collector, Christian Roll was a German journalist. He reported from the previous war zones of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, the Philippines and many other places in Asia. His autobiography "Street of Happiness" describes him as adventurer who had no worries, even from the most famous places to report. But they also saw him as a drinker and a man who regularly traveled in the Red Sea of Asia. On the basis of his lifestyle, he always spent money, which he tried to buy through the purchase of antiques in Asian markets, which he then sold to German collectors. In the course of time, science developed and published only a few articles in international magazine magazines. The Curator for Asia (1955-1971) and later Director of the Linden Museums (1971-1986), Dr. Friedrich Kußmaul, was a regular customer of Roll and bought several hundred items from him.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
