PNG canoe-sail pendant and a whaletail scrolled-up with koru-motif: whats the problem? Whaletails are perfectly valid to the Maoris carving them down here, ditto the surface decorations. While the sails aren't Polynesian, Ive seen plenty of other carvers and painters on TC using Melanesian/Micronesian Art and Artifacts as inspiration for their designs, without harrassment. I dont understand why you'd post such a comment? Not very supportive or... anything Tama :-?
