Tapa Cloth Item Number: 1060/79 a from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Large rectangular tapa cloth with designs in red-brown, brown and black on natural coloured ground. The designs consist of wide rows of squares with abstract line motifs.
The documentation from the Sisters of Saint Ann Museum says this is a "chief's loin robe; no commoner could wear such a piece."
This was collected by Mr. Warren Bell of Vancouver and acquired in 1934, according to old documentation from the Sisters of Saint Ann museum.
The designs were made with stencils.
