Other Information

P.99122 to P.99152 were formerly kept in paper archive envelope OA1/2/6; Box 79. The prints have now been transferred to the photo archive.

Place: the tapa is probably Polynesian rather than Micronesian or Melanesian due to the fringing, and due to the motifs used. The place filed has been updated accordingly. Information provided by Faustina Rehuher, Belau National Museum for the Republic of Palau. [JD 9/8/2007]

This print has been catalogued with the support of the Getty Grant Fund.
