Went to the Met (NYC) and had to check out the native American,African, and Oceania exhibit. The Oceania portion is mostly Png and truly amazing. Here’s some pix-I took a ton and I encourage anyone that visits the Met to check out this permanent exhibit.

I have seen this one in many books and I tried to replicate it’s image on one of my home bars. It’s actually a very large 3 dimensional mask.

This is an upright slit drum of sorts Notice the size as compared to the visitors to its right.
