Material Culture of the Min,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art and Decoration of Central New Guinea (Shire Ethnography) (Paperback)
A excellent small booklet, that describes the Material Culture of the Min speaking people in Papua New Guinea and Papua/Irian Jaya. There are not many publications from that area. Illustrated with many black & white photographs and line drawings of tobacco-pipe, arrow, shield and house-board ornaments.
