This volume is the first comprehensive documentation and interpretation of more than 600 Pacific Island fishhooks, photographed and illustrated in color and accompanied by extensive explanatory notes. In many forms, often related to everyday uses, hooks have played a major role in the ancient cultures of the Pacific region.
This volume, by private collectors Daniel Blau and Klaus Maaz, adds another facet to the set, reflecting the enthusiasm with which they have devoted themselves to the art and science of ancient Pacific Island cultures.
Particular attention is given to classification in the cultural and artistic context.
