Many ancient and little known Polynesian artifacts are kept in French museums. The collections studied in this article are those of the Cherbourg Museum of Natural History. The major part was collected by Commandant Jouan, who made two stays in the Marquesas Islands between 1850 and 1856 and created the Cherbourg Museum. The Marquesan collections brought back by Commandant Jouan include : two chief's staffs, one stone pig-head which is probably a unique piece, one club, tapas, carved bamboos, one conch shell, stilt steps, two small stone tiki, miscellaneous ornaments, two head decorated pounders, one complete fly fan, one big feather diadem, two rare artifacts, and a mnemonic device used in learning genealogies.
