32. Left is one of two surviving carved figures from the Cook Islands
from the 18th or early 19th Century. Similar in style to the staff-god
figures.

38. Polynesian Tapa (bark cloth) is made in a
similar fashion to traditional Baganda bark
cloth from Uganda.
I’ve brought in samples for you from Uganda,

on them when we are finished with this
presentation.
