für Völkerkunde Berlin erworben. - Beatrix Hoffmann, "Introduction into the history of the textile collection at the Ethnological Museum Berlin", in: Lena Bjerregaard and Ann Peters (eds.) (Center for Textile Research (University of Copenhagen)), "PreColumbian Textile Conference VII", Lincoln (Nebraska 2017), S. 176-190, Bezug: S. 177 Über 6 Mumien, die Heredia zusammentrug und die 1872 in das Ethnologischen Museum Berlin gelangten, heißt es: "Other important collectors for the Berlin collection are Theodor von Bunsen, Al-fred Hettner and Eduard and Cecilia Seler. Bunsen, a career diplomat and military envoy, was the Consul general and Charge d’Affaires of the North German Confederation and the Empire in Peru for two years, from 1870 to 1872. The mummies donated by Bunsen to the museum are recorded as initially collected by Otto Antonio Heredia. Regrettably, further information on who he was and his relationship to Bunsen has not been found. The dona-tion consists of six mummies, three are “fragments” or body parts of mummies, one is a bundle; the other three do not have a specific description on the accession data. Similarly, only three of the mummies have a provenience recorded, though only the sites of Chincha Alta and Chancay are recognizable."
