Tapa Pendant Type 6 - Aloha with Triangle Designs

Description

The word, aloha is said to be a combination of alo - to face or address - and ha the breath of life. The meaning of aloha can be as light as a casual greeting or as deep as life itself. 

Thom's Tapa Designs reflect the traditional Polynesian repeating geometric patterns used in old Polynesia to decorate tapa (kapa). Tapa made from pounded tree bark was primarily used for clothing before it was replaced with modern textiles such as cotton. Tapa cloth was painted and decorated by rubbing, stamping, stenciling, smoking, or dyeing.   

The triangle represents a shark tooth, meaning strength and power.
