Koror Woman of High Rank

Because I am the master at starting projects…I started going through old books inherited from my grandparents on the various islands of the Pacific.  I'm drawing portraits I of pacific islander woman as an homage to the matrilineal society of the Palauan culture.

Information on the original image I was looking at - Caption of original photo, "Koror woman of high rank". From the book, "South Pacific" authors' Jack and Dorothy Fields, 1972. From the library of Gerald and Lillian Phillips, New Braunfels, Texas. ‪#‎inprogress‬
