Masi Kesa. Printed bark cloth with black-coloured geometric patterns. There is also a line of short slanted brown-coloured lines rendered with umea ( red/brown dye) around edges of Masi Kesa. The patterns incorporate the i-seru (hair comb) design, qasiqasi ni uga (crab design - where the crab leaves a trail in its wake when moving), and Mata ni Vusi (cat's eye) motif. Fringing along the edge of the masi is indicative of ceremonial usage and personal adornment. Masi is made from bark stripped from the Vuni Masi (Paper mulberry) tree. The outer skin is removed and the inner bark (natural in colour) is soaked in a papasia (large wooden bowl). It is then laid out on a duadua (long wooden anvil) and beaten with an ike (bark cloth beater). Using water as the binding agent, strips of masi are felted together.
