The Tang Mo have houses, thanks to RA, but they need items, armour and weapons to make them an interesting culture to visit. Since Polynesian art is hugely under-represented in films, games and media in general, I think it would be a great inspiration for our modelers:
Weapons made from shark's teeth:

A shield:

A collection of weapons, masks and shields:

Carved statues (in my lore for the Tang Mo, these would be used instead of books to record history):

Masks (could be worn instead of armour):

Obviously the masks and statues would need to be modified so that they show monkeys instead of humans, but that can be done at the design stage.
Thoughts?
