  • Description: G. von Koenigswald Indonesian influences in Hawaiian art In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 107 (1951), no: 4, Leiden, 346-352 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl INDONESIAN INFLUENCES IN HAWAIIAN ART With 1 plate and 3 Textfigures. 1 D uring his stay in Java, the author was able to make a small collection of sumatran textiles, the designs of which seem to indicate a close relationship with the Pacific Region, especially the Bismarck Archipelago and Polynesia. According to PERCY SMITH (1910) the route of migration went from India via Malakka, Java, Celebes to Halmahera and further East; in the "Handbook to the Ethnographical Collections of the British Museum" (1925) we find, that the Polynesians "made their way to Java, and after a halt" proceded in eastward direction; and HOWELL is of opinion, that the names for Java and Hawaii are linguistically identical (1946, p. 283). ! On embroideries also from the Kroe district, Sumatra, we recognize the typical malangan; the totok-pole is derived from indonesian figures, placed between the ships and like these reflected in the water; the uli-iiguves of the most primtive type bear a close resemblance in composition to the figures on plate 1, figs. 13. The polychromy of the art of New Ireland, which is something quite exceptional and alien to woodcarving some pieces are painted over the whole surface with little geometrical ornaments , is clearly derived from our indonesian embroidery, e.g. fine mats. [...]we have not mentioned the tatanua-masks of New Ireland the german "Raupenhelme" which are comparable with hawaiian feather helmets.
