I am selling my edition of the infamous "Die Marquesaner und ihre Kunst" by German physician and anthropologist Karl von den Steinen. It is, of course, not the original piece from 1928 but a Facsimile-print from 2008 and it comes in mint condition. The publication consists of three books, No 1 is about "Tatauierung", No 2 "Plastik (sculpture) and No 3 is a catalogue of Marquesan Tikis in different museums with tons of Tikis in it. All included about 600 pages of Marquesan Art with 823 photographs and 84 plates of drawings.
It is an academic piece of work in German language but still one of the most well done studies of oceanic arts and crafts. Even if you are not able to read German it is still amazing to look at all the beautiful pictures.
Price would be 400 Dollars + shipping
