The ghost-like, stone iniet figures found in New Britain are seldom discussed or illustrated in studies of Melanesian art, and are almost never exhibited. The largest collection of these spirit figures probably is found in Berlin's Museum fur Volkerkunde, most of this collection having been acquired in 1907. In addition to a full documentation of the collection (in the German text), there are almost 650 photographs in this volume, the principal work on these figures.
