Micronesian navigation charts were not a map. The charts were never carried out to sea, these charts acted as a memory device to help navigators memorize information. The navigators apprentice would make the stick chart onshore and commit it to memory. Later in the middle of the ocean out of sight of land the apprentice would have to know his position from the swell patterns

Solomon Islands art:  tribal food bowls

Tribal wooden bowls from the Solomon Islands tend to be black, inlaid with shiny shell sections. These shell sections are made of Nautilus shell and stuck in place by mastic.

They come in a variety of shapes and designs but the most collectible look like birds or animals.
