Our Samoan Visitor Ether Pad
[] ||  ||

The weather is very hot in Samoa so they weave fans made of tree bark, They dye the tree bark different colours to make the fans look nice and colourful. T h e y use tapa cloths for clothing and decoration some use them as place mats to eat food on and like a foot mat. This has amazing patterns on it used with ink and dye. They use these for place mats and sometimes blinds doors and walls. At first we thought it was a compass because of the arrows pointing everywhere. They use this as a cup to drink kava from, there are arrows on it and one person drinks on one arrow and so on. It has carving patterns in it and the arrows are made of shells. || || ||
