siapo art
One of the oldest and most important traditions of Samoa is the Siapo or Tapa. It is a type of cloth made from the bark of the mulberry tree. It is very time-consuming, because the bark must be harvested, stripped, separated, scraped, and beaten before it can be used. It is then laid out in the sun to dry.
The artist uses natural dyes, created from items such as berries, bark, and nuts to make patterns on the cloth.
There are 13 traditional patterns used on siapo that represent things common to Samoan cultures such as nets, coconut leaves, shells, and flowers.
