Bark Cloth, or tapa, is not a woven material, but made from bark that has been softened through a process of soaking and beating. The inner bark is taken from several types of trees or shrubs, often mulberry and fig and designs are applied with paints and vegetable dyes of light brown, red and black..
In Tonga, tapa cloth is highly valued and used for special occasions such as wedding and funeral ceremonies.
