My name is Greg Hamson. I am the brother of the Oceanic art dealer Michael Hamson.  I have been given the task of helping him sell off some excess inventory.  While the pieces being offered may not be up to the aesthetic standards one finds on his website; they are all guaranteed to be authentic and as described.   This guarantee is unconditional and extends for however long you own the piece.  And since my mission is to sell material I will have both a low starting price and a low reserve.  So bid with confidence that you are buying something real from a well-known and respected source.
