Description Nearly square mat woven primarily of thin strips of pandanus leaves, primarily in a simple plaiting (1/1) technique; Central square area of mat is plain, framed on all four edges by a four borders; Inner border is woven of natural pandanus leaves and overstitched with unidentified dyed black fibers to form a continuous line of “Z” shapes; Second narrow border is also woven of natural pandanus leaves with overlay of unidentified dyed reddish brown fibers that form pattern of zigzags, known as the “wavy land of islands” pattern; Third and widest border is woven in diagonal plaiting technique, with natural pandanus leaves positioned in one direction and unidentified dyed dark brown fibers positioned in the opposite direction, forming parallel rows of parallelograms (with alternate rows pointing in alternate directions) and solid dark brown squares at each corner; Fourth border is identical to the second one; A fifth and final border is woven separately of very narrow plain and dyed black pandanus leaves in diagonal plaiting technique producing a pattern of interlocking diagonal lines that continues uninterrupted around rounded corners of mat; Fifth border is then attached to larger mat with strip of pandanus leaf on either face that is secured with native cordage; All designs on mat are double-faced, i.e., design and/or color is reversed from front to back of mat; Mats of this type were traditionally won as clothing by women, with one in the front and another overlapping one on the back and the two secured with a belt of some type.

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.
