Object description

Blå siden(?)ripsfana, av två hopsydda dukar med varsitt likadant gult silkebroderi: texten "Congo-veteranerna 1876-1908" runt en stjärna. Monterad med nubb mot trästång. Stången i två delar, med metallsprjutspets (mässing) i toppen.

Årtalen 1876-1908 är symboliskt viktiga. Kung Leopold II organiserade 1876 den geografiska konferensen i Bryssel som blev startskottet för den systematiska koloniseringen av Centralafrika och Kongofristaten, Leopolds privata koloni 1885-1908. Kongofristaten övergick 1908 till Congo belge, den belgiska statens koloni.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
