Bonhams auction of Polynesian items

Bonhams is having an auction of African, Oceanic and Pre-Columbian Art items tomorrow (May 13) in New York. A quick glance of the catalog came up with some good Polynesian and Hawaiian items, including tapa, Maori weapons and hei tiki. Good reference material even if you don't have a couple of grand burning a hole in your pocket.
