Handmade Grass Screen

This handmade grass screen measures approximately 36x42 inches and is likey from 1976.

This is another item from the estate of Binion Amerson, longtime member of the PSG, one of the original crew of the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Programme (POBSP), the man who collected the first specimen of Bryan's Shearwater, author of "The Coral Carrier," a history of French Frigate Shoals. Donator Jeff Cox doesn't know the exact provenance of this item, but after the POBSP was completed, Binion worked on a survey of the wildlife of American Samoa. He brought back several souvenirs from Samoa, and this is likely one of them, although it could be from Binion's time on the POBSP. Photos show the screen unrolled, and a detail of one corner of the screen.
