Anotations

Scope note:

Describes the style and culture of the inhabitants of the Fiji islands whose settlers are well known for their Lapita pottery. Fijian men tend to utilize wood as a primary medium during art production. Specialist Fijian carpenters produce sculptures, bowls, canoes, drums, weapons, headrests and ornaments. Late 20th-century Fijian art production includes traditional objects made for the craft market and local use, and 19th-century antique reproductions, as well as tourist art products.
