(This volume provides an elborate visual repertoire of the art of New Ireland and a source of reference on the art of the South Pacific.
Its many colour photographs record the skill lavished on such objects as the complex malagan poles, carved figures of animals and men, architectural decorations, personal ornaments and masks.
Contributors of essays to the book include: Tibor Bodrogi, Brenda Clay, Michael Gunn, Dieter Heintze, Louise Lincoln and Roy Wagner.
The book was produced in association with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts on the occasion of an exhibition which toured USA for two years.
The catalogue section includes description and illustration of forty-nine objects from the region)
