Uncle Trav,
It is Fijian.
Fijian tapa is my favorite, the patterns are so intricate and I love their bold use of the darker color hand painted over the printed parts. Its an unusual shape for a tourist piece which is referred to as "handicraft" so it may actually be a piece that was made as a gift for a wedding.
