content: Note that this was originally cataloged (in the ledger book, then on the card) as simply "Polynesian". The object has an old tag that says "type Kingsmill" but there is no explanation for this identification. The object itself is marked with old lettering: "Polynesia, Maj. Wm Rich" and then in different handwriting "Gilbert Is." and in a third hand, in pencil, "Kingsmill". But again, this Kingsmill/Gilbert identification needs verification and/or documentation.
