Tattoing
 The
designs represented in particular the levels of graduation
from rank to rank, but also depicted an age-old mythology,
especially in the northern-most islands.
On Vate and the surrounding islands, only people's faces and
forearms would be tattooed.
Traditional clothing
 The traditional garment for men is called a
“nambas” which is a penis-sheath made from bark or the leaf
of the pandanus. Women wear grass skirts, using leaves,
woven mats or the fibres of the burao.
To this basic form of dress they would add masks,
headdresses and various ornaments for different ceremonies.
Pottery
At one time, pottery was made throughout the islands,
but nowadays it is only found on the western coast of
Santo. The items are small, usually moulded on the
women's knees to shape them and turn them into bowls.
Weaving
 Weaving
is mainly a woman's occupation. They make mats, baskets,
women's bags, usually out of the leaves of the pandanus and
the coconut tree, the stalks of the burao. Some women also
use wicker, rattan, coconut fibre or reeds for weavmg.
