EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Danita Delimont, we are transported to the remote and exotic Caroline Islands in Micronesia. The image showcases an incredible stone money bank on Yap Island, where tradition meets innovation. Forget about cash or credit cards; here on Yap, stones rule! These massive circular stones, known as "rai" serve as currency in this small island paradise. As you gaze at the photo, you can't help but marvel at the lush green foliage surrounding these unique banks that blend seamlessly with nature. The repetition of these stone money banks lined up in a row creates a mesmerizing sight. It's like witnessing a secret treasure trove hidden within Mother Earth herself! The indigenous culture of Yapese people shines through their adherence to this ancient monetary system, showcasing their deep-rooted traditions. But don't be fooled - even though it may seem unconventional to us outsiders, life on Yap is far from boring. From snorkeling adventures amidst colorful coral reefs to exploring pristine beaches and vibrant local markets brimming with beadwork treasures – fun experiences abound! So pack your bags and get ready for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Micronesia's cultural heritage. Let this print transport you to a world where stones hold more value than gold and where embracing tradition goes hand-in-hand with embracing adventure!
