i've seen your collections, and if you want more information on the storyboard you've mention, i might be able to help you. Osiik was our mom's father, and yes! he was a famous wood carver. So please email me.

Of the topic of Sculpture Signed Osiik, i direct this response to Belinda Osiik Omangkar, the grandaughter of Osiik, the Master Carver. I have a carving by Osiik, ... a setting depicting a man docking into port, with large coconut trees and woman in background with bowl on her head. I am curious of the nature of the wood, it is native to the Palau area?, and wonder of the possible date of this carving. Its a very pleasing artwork, very few flaws, i appreciate it's beauty. I can supply pictures, and any information is welcome, Thank You.

I was in the Coast Guard and made flights to Palau in 1952-53. When there i met a man whose name was osiik. He made carvings of a house and jewelry box for me. I also got story bords signed by "ngiraibuuh". Also have a picture of "Osiik" and me.

Osiik the Master Carver's work was on display at the Tyler

Musuem of Art in Tyler, Texas. Th Kaplan collection is the

largest collection of his art work which included is a piece

commissioned by my father William Vitarelli in 1964.

I am one of Osiik's granddaughters... he called me

Erro.
