Description
English: A MAKER OF GODS: IMAGE CARVER AND HIS HANDIWORK
  • The sacred grounds of the gods are said to have existed from time immemorial, but missionary work is growing apace in Ambryn Island, and it is doubtful whether posterity will regard the ground or gods with the same superstitious dread as did their forefathers.
  • This grey-haired native, however, knows all the prayers and charms which control and appease the spirits dwelling within these idols.
  • In the colonial New Hebrides ca.1920 (present day Vanuatu).
