Here's the last from the book "African and Oceanic Art", Trowell & Nevermann. (Doesn't 'Nevermann' sound like a TC name?)

This book is chock-full of great photos, I'm just cherry-picking the ones I find most interesting;

Reliquary figure, Fang, Gabon. From the Plass Collection, British Museum, London.

Paddle blade, Asmat, former Dutch New Guinea.

Uli figure, New Ireland, Bismarck Archipelago. Very ancient design.

Bird figure, from a Soul Boat offering, Asmat, former Dutch New Guinea.

Mask, Sepik River District, NE. New Guinea, about 27" tall.
