- Curator's comments
- The collection Oc1993,06.1-45, donated by Tony Atkinson was collected while he was in colonial service in the Gilbert (now the Republic of Kiribati) and Ellice (now Tuvalu) Islands between 1956 and 1959.
These three pieces were also part of that collection (Oc1993,06), but came to the Museum later, in 2012.
