Description: This listing is for a large vintage Fijian Tapa Barkcloth. This beautifully aged piece is presented behind glass in a black metal frame. It shows minimal wear and measures about 24” high x 18.5” diameter. Bark cloth, or tapa, is not a woven material, but made from bark that has been softened through a process of soaking and beating. The inner bark is taken from several types of trees or shrubs, often mulberry and fig, and designs are applied with paints and vegetable dyes of light brown, red, and black. Fijians are linguistically and ethnically related to Melane-sians, but their culture is similar to that of Polynesians. Their artistic creations are distinguished from the rest of Oceania by their original, powerful and refined style. Take a look at the photos for any condition issues.
