content: From donor: "Grass skirt from Kolonia, Yap: This was given to me [Connie Mays] when I taught summer school (1972). This style of skirt is worn by Yapese women on special occasions. The different colors come from plant roots, except the purple color. The island women loved the purple ink used in the ditto machine at the high school, and asked for some to use in their skirts."
