Text Appearing Before Image:
A COLLECTION FROM THE SOUTH SEAS 121 bure was for religious ceremonies. Here votive offerings of food and whale's teeth were presented to the deity. Here also the native priest fell into a trance, during which he held communion with supernatural powers, whose decision on the question at issue was afterwards announced to the populace. While the temple illustrated the architectural skill of the Fijians, which is superior to that of all other Oceanians excepting the Maori of New Zealand, their craftsmanship in other directions is shown by the variety of their neck-rests and the attractive open-work decoration of their combs. (See plate on page 122.) Oil and food dishes of wood are of rather crude execution, but interesting in shape. Very artistic effects are produced in the breast-plates of shell bone, which are tastefully decorated with inlaid patterns. The objects illustrated here and other material selected from the collection have been installed temporarily in a wall case in the northeast corner of the Siberian Hall (No. 101) on the ground floor. Robert H. Lowie.
