Tribal Art: Oceania – Asia

Tribal Art: Oceania – Asia presents a survey of ritual, ceremonial, and sculptural works from Oceania and selected regions of Asia.

The publication focuses on wood carvings, masks, ancestor figures, textiles, weapons, and ceremonial objects, situating them within their cultural and symbolic contexts.

Rather than treating the objects as ethnographic artifacts alone, the volume approaches them as works of artistic and formal significance. Emphasis is placed on materiality, craftsmanship, and spiritual function, while acknowledging the historical conditions of collection and display.

The book is richly illustrated and serves both as a visual reference for collectors and as a contextual resource for researchers interested in Oceanic and Asian indigenous artistic traditions.
