AtJthentic Polynesian artifacts on qisplay An authentic Polynesian bra is in the artifacts display in the hall of the "P" building, according to Abraham Gruber, Anthropology instructor at Palomar. He has set up a display containg many Polynesian objects of both mode rn and the pre-contact
period before European civilization came to the islands . The artifacts were borrowed from the Los Angeles County Museum, and are valued at $750. Gruber is a personal friend of the museum's curator and was able to obtain the display for a three month period.
Among other objects is a Samoan neck rest which , the Samoans claim is far more comfortable than using a western style pillow. To an American, however, it looks very austere. Also, a Tahitian dance skirt from the famous island of BoraBora is featured.
