PACIFIC JEWELLERY AND ADORNMENT
by Roger And Pereira Fuli Neich (9781869535353)

The Auckland Museum has extensive collections of the traditional personal ornaments of the peoples of the South Pacific, including Melanesia and Micronesia. They display a huge variety of styles and materials used, yet all reflect the lifestyles, preoccupations and imperatives of a people surrounded by thousands of square miles of ocean.

Showcases over 250 of the most beautiful and breathtaking examples of traditional jewellery from the Pacific.
