Object description

Rektangulärt barktyg eller ngatu av utbultad innerbark, hopbultat av flera lager och skarvat av flera våder. Tillverkad i ett på Tonga vanligt sätt;

Varje våd (var och en av flera lager barktyg) mönstras liggande över en bänk med mönsterplattor med relief inunder, och hoplimmas efterhand med nästkommande bård.

Bottenmönstret i brunrött (från koka träd) gnids in men sidofälten lämnas ofärgade vita (ej ingnidna). Efter ingnidning, hoplimning, torkning och utplaning fylls motivens konturer ut med mörkbrun färg - på denna olika portliknande ornament. De vita våderna numreras så att antalet våder framkommer. Ju fler våder desto mer prestigefylldare ngatu.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
