Short-sleeved, light green cotton shirt with dark green floral design and five white plastic buttons. Shirt opens at the front, with button closure. Neck has a starched collar. A large pocket is sewn on at the front left chest. Sleeves are hemmed. Small slits at both sides at bottom hem.
Man's shirt worn by attendees of the Williams Reconciliation Ceremony on Erromango, Vanuatu in 2009. (There were also dresses of the same material made for the female attendees.) Erromango, the largest island in the southernmost province of Vanuatu, was formerly known as Martyr's Island by the Presbyterian missionaries in the 19th century, because of the risk there attached to missionary work. John Williams of the London Missionary Society was killed at Dillon's Bay in 1839. In December 2009, after a lengthy collaboration between the Museum of Anthropology and church and cultural leaders in Vanuatu, descendants of John Williams travelled to Erromango to accept the apologies of the descendants of those who killed their ancestor in a Reconciliation Ceremony. To mark the occasion, Dillon's Bay was renamed Williams Bay.
