Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Net Work of the Cloak of Kiwalao. Cloak of ʻōʻō {Acrulocercus nobtlis) decorated with triangles of ʻiʻiwi (Vestiaria coccinea).
  • Plate X. This is of the same age as the preceding and belonged to Kīwalaʻō, son of Kalaniʻōpuʻu, and a brave warrior, slain by Kamehameha who thus obtained the cloak. In late years it has been called "the Queen's Cloak" and has been placed over the Queen's throne on public occasions. Length, 60 inches; width at base, 144 inches; front edges, 50.7 inches. The nae is composed of more than thirty pieces, of irregular form and varying fineness, Fig. 48, and the cloak seems to have been made up of the ruins of many other fabrics much as the choice products of Kashmir are fitted piece to piece of many an ancient shawl. The network is shown on a larger scale in Plate XI. At the fall of the Hawaiian Monarchy this, with Nos. 1, 3 and 4, came to the Bishop Museum where it is numbered 6829.
