If its small it was made specifically for a tourist item. Much larger pieces are made for cerimonial uses. 4x6 feet sounds like average size for wedding present. I have several pieces this size.There is a pretty nice book on Tapa called Traditional Tapa Textiles of the Pacific. I have also done a book about Tapa, but its a copywrite free design book for artist Dawn [ Edited by: Sophista-tiki 2006-11-01 08:46 ] Sophista.... What happened to the rest of this???
