content: Multiple layer (13, including cover pieces) kapa sampler book with front and back pieces watermarked Mamaki, apparently from the same piece; second piece may be as well (light brown); many of the pieces watermarked. Seventh piece fresh beaten and very fibrous; probably not Hawaiian. The third and 11th pieces are both made by taking two pieces, with the top layer having planned openings to show lower layer, and beating them together into one piece. E324476-0 and E168168-0: Sample books with almost same tapa cloth samples (each book has one additional pattern that is not in the other book). Appear to have been made at the same time.
