Masi kesa. Masi (barkcloth) hand printed with stencilled designs in bands of repeated motifs (nine in total) including bands of repeated stylised flower, diamond, seru (hair comb) across the length of the masi in black and brown pigments. Long and narrow rectangular shape and cut at both wider sides. Masi is produced from the Vuni Masi tree (Paper Mulberry tree). The outer skin is removed with the inner bark soaked in the papasia (large wooden bowl). It is then laid out on a duadua (long wooden anvil) and beaten with an ike (tapa beater) to produce the naturally off-white colour cloth. Layers are felted together to increase thickness and size of the masi. This masi kesa has creases from being folded in storage previously. Good condition. "52319 FIJI" is handwritten in black ink on the underside of the masi kesa near a corner edge.
