The name Oceania encompasses a multitude of islands spread across the Pacific Ocean: Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, New Guinea or the Caroline Islands, etc. The iconography of this work presents more than 160 objects, neck rests, fly swatters, pestles, stilt stirrups, fan handles, but also sculpted skulls, masks and statues. These objects are the last witnesses of cultures that have disappeared forever.
