It’s rare to find one as large as this, which hasn’t been cut up into smaller sections.     

Ngatu is made from the bark of hiapo (paper mulberry tree).  Only men may tend hiapo while it is growing but, once it has been harvested, only women may turn the hiapo bark into ngatu. 

The process of making ngatu begins with stripping the bark from the tree and then separating the inner and outer bark.  The stripped bark is then cut into strips and beaten - which transforms the strip into a wider piece resembling a fibrous fabric. 

When a number of pieces have been produced, they are dried and placed under a mattress to flatten them.  A design is imprinted on the cloth with a kupesi (pattern board) and pieces are joined together with a paste made from arrowroot.  After the imprinted design has dried, extra decoration is painted on by hand.

Throughout Polynesia, tapa designs greatly impressed early European explorers.
