Pacific Jewerly & Adornment
This magnificant book showcases more than 250 of the finest example of traditional jewelry from the Pacific. Apart from their beauty, these personal items also convey information about power, status, and community. Myraid designs and materials, including jade, whale teeth and bone, shark teeth, tapa, shells, and plant fibers, are woven together in a skillful combination of color and craftsmanship.
Drawing on the extensive collections of the Auckland Museum, the jewelry shown here represents a vast geographical area: Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, Niue, the Marquesas, the Cook Islands, and New Zealand. Their significance, the ceremonies in which they are worn, and the messages they convey are explored in an illuminating introductory essay. The amazing variety of styles and materials reflects the lifestyles, preoccupations, and imperatives of a people surrounded by the largest ocean on the planet.
