Materials Pandanus leaves; Beach bur fibers (reddish brown); Dyed hibiscus fibers (black); Native cordage

Materials Mamade (Pipturus albidus) fiber, possibly; Pigments: red dirt (rust brown) and kukui nut shavings mixed with kukui oil (black)
Description Rectangular kapa cloth made from strips of mulberry bark that have been beaten very smooth and overlapped and then completely dyed yellow; Design field of cloth is bilaterally divided down the center along its long axis, with one half undecorated and the other half stamped with a series of rectangular blocks arranged in a checkerboard pattern; Each stamped block is composed of smaller geometric designs, applied by repeatedly stamping with a narrow bamboo stamp, which allowed for a change in the actual design as well as the color within a design block; There are four different designs, including the kalahale or bent knee design, a set of interlocking Vs in sets of four; Some of the blocks are completely a rust brown color, some are completely black (although largely faded to blue), and some are a combination of the two colors; This kapa cloth is a complete child’s or young woman’s wrap-around skirt, worn with the design along the bottom and the undecorated upper side folded down and over a belt; The degree to which this skirt is decorated suggests that it belonged to someone of high class.
