This piece of Tapa is Tongan you can tell by the designs printed and the process of the under printing and over painting. 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
