Art forms include traditional wood-carving, barkcloth, mat-making, tattoo, and other body arts. Polynesian art was greatly developed, but little of what existed has survived to the modern day due to the perishability of the utilized material - bark cloth, basketry, and featherwork. Although architecture was developed everywhere in Polynesia, only the ruined stone structures of the eastern Polynesian islands remain proof of the Polynesians' exceptional architectural skill. ]]></note></mads>
