- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
North Pacific, Hawaiian Islands, 20th century CE. A well-preserved, carved wooden tapa beater with four flat faces and a tubular handle. Each of the faces is incised with an attractive pattern. One presents with narrowly spaced striations; another with rows of zigzag motifs separated by linear striations; another has a perfect geometric grid pattern; the fourth side features a repeating diamond pattern with dots adorning the centers of each diamond. Tapa is a particular kind of bark cloth that is made in the South Pacific Islands - mainly Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji - but also as far afield as Hawaii and New Zealand. Tapa was introduced to the western world in the late 18th century by Captain Cook's first expedition, where it was collected under the direction of Joseph Banks and brought to Europe. In the South Pacific, Hawaii, and New Zealand, the cloth is still of great social importance and is often given as a gift. Interestingly, it was also once used for everyday clothing before synthetic fabrics replaced it; however. today it is worn only at special occasions such as weddings. Size: 17.625" L x 2.25" W (44.8 cm x 5.7 cm)
Provenance: private Newport Beach, California, USA collection
