This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...with that of the pandanus mat, Fig. 54, the great difference in the length of the staple will be noted. As with the hala, the leaves dried over a fire were whiter, and in the case of the makaloa these were called olala; it was the favorite kind of leaf used, except perhaps for the large floor coverings. The red figures are formed from the lower portion of the stem, which is naturally colored; but while this color is fairly durable, it turns a dirty brown on long exposure to the light. The fresh color, both of the olala and the red figures, is well shown on Plate XVI. These figures are an embroidery and do not show on the reverse. The patterns used are very simple geometric ones that do not present the variety shown in the decorated Hawaiian kapa, but the nature of the texture kept these within narrow bounds. Even on kapa, where the surface admits of any form, we seldom find the attempt to represent natural objects; almost always it was ornamentation composed of triangles, rhombs, squares and lines. All these patterns had names, and I have been at some pains to preserve these which will be found in the illustrations (Figs. 77-81, and Pis. XI-XIII, and XVI). Not only did the weaver use these external decorations, but in the very weave she used her fancy in a way seldom found in the hala mats, and some mats are a series of stripes, each of a different weave. These fancy stripes sometimes alternate with those of a plain weave, and on these latter were generally embroidered the red figures. One mat in this collection, No. 10,072, recently made, shows not only nearly all the usual figures but is woven in nearly all the known styles, including fancy twills. The names of the patterns are as follows; Keekee. Bent, zigzag; a favorite form, reminding one of the Egypti...
