In this pendant, the cloth is white as it is unpainted (ngatu is painted barkcloth in Tonga; tapa is the unpainted cloth). It shows off the amazing fibres of the cloth that have been beaten over many months of collective work. The pendant is made from a ngatu that belonged to Nia, our muse, our matriarch. She gifted it to us because it was too damaged to continue to be gifted as koloa, malo 'aupito lahi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIAL: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTapa - Unpainted beaten mulberry cloth + Resin.
