Description
Aus den Puljeh Lnseln. Page 11. This is a German reproduction after prints by Wilson and D’Urville. The Abai was the center of Palau’s culture, a men’s meeting house. The structure was adorned with intricate carvings showing traditional legends and myths. Several Abai’s have been restored and still stand today and are used for general meetings and events. Circa 1790 Print from our extensive collection of Antique Maps, Prints and Photos of Guam and Micronesia;(NOTE: Since this is high resolution reproduction of the original antique print from 1835, there are some small natural areas of coloration in the print, which are typical of a 200 year old print and are to be expected.) When matted and framed this is an exquisite print for home or office.
