content: Barkcloth. Light brown designs in the background, and larger dark brown geometric designs in the foreground. Adrienne Kaeppler, Curator of Oceania Ethnology, says "it is a nice small piece of the classic style. That is, it was made by rubbing dye on the piece of white tapa that had been placed on a carved wooden design board." The design from the board is clear.
