Chris Boylan & Anna Edmundson. published by the Macleay Museum, at the University of Sydney.
The book has been published to coincide with the exhibition Adornment: jewellery, dress and body decoration from Australia and the Pacific at the Macleay Museum at the University of Sydney being held in conjunction with the Oceanic Art Society of Australia.

The exhibition is outstanding and draws on the permanent collections of the Macleay Museum and the private collections of members of the Oceanic Art Society.

The book brings together a wide range of beautiful, rare and historically significant items of 19th and 20th century, jewellery, dress and body ornament from the region of Oceania. Most of these pieces have never been displayed before.

This volume is currently out of print.
