The South Pacific islands are, at last, turning their thoughts back to their rich, cultured past with its many art forms created for so many uses—for religious ceremonies, for battle and even for utilitarian jobs in the home.

MANA editor Marjorie Crocombe shows four which are museum pieces in Soviet Russia.
