Pua (Ceremonial Blanket or Hanging)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Reddish-brown rectangular textile with a repeating pattern of hexagons and spirals in a lighter brown color. The pattern is separated into sections by vertical lines. The fabric has a decorative border on all sides, consisting of multiple thin stripes. Top and bottom borders have thicker stripes with decorative swirling patterns. The background of the textile is a solid reddish-brown color. The image shows the textile laid flat on a light gray surface. The textile appears to be a ceremonial blanket or hanging, known as "Pua", made by an unknown artist.
