VISTIENDO RAPA NUI/ TEXTILES VEGETALES/ HAKA'ARA O TE KAHU.
[Santiago, Chile: Pehuen, 2013]. Illustrated. First Edition. Prior to the advent of industrially-manufactured goods, women across Oceania spent much of their time making textiles. Artistically very valuable, the textile artifacts of the Pacific –and everything they represent– were made with great skill using fibers of vegetable origin and, in particular, with plants that were part of the Polynesian cultural heritage for many centuries. This publication intends to show the variety and complex range of textile products that in the past were manufactured on Easter Island, many of which have been forgotten as a result of the changes in the life of the population. Quarto, pictorial white wraps;78 pages. Item #58126
