Description
Newly built church with woven bamboo walls in a reverberating cross pattern. An unusually complex pattern, even more unique and complicated than the diamond pattern seen in other photographs. This church was north of South West Bay and had been built by the Charismatic branch of the Presbyterians. This design supports Arthur Bernard Deacon's observation, "I have collected in Malakula, too, some cases of a remarkable mathematical ability. I hope, when I get my material together, to be able to prove that the native is capable of pretty advanced abstract thought." A. Bernard Deacon, Malekula, New York, NY: Humanities Press, 1934, xxiii.
