EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricate beauty of a traditional Hawaiian chief's cloak, a symbol of high social status during the last third of the 18th century in the Hawaiian Islands, which are now part of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. The cloak, also known as a mantle or robe, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Polynesian people of the Americas. The cloak is adorned with vibrant feathers and vegetable fibers, showcasing the natural resources abundant in the Hawaiian Islands. The feathers, likely from native birds, add a regal and eye-catching element to the cloak, while the vegetable fibers provide a sturdy and breathable base. The Hawaiian Islands were home to a complex civilization with distinct social classes, and the wearing of such a cloak would have signified the wearer's upper class status and rank within Hawaiian society. The cloak is an important ethnographic artifact, providing valuable insights into the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of this region. Today, this cloak is preserved and displayed at the Museum of the Americas in Madrid, Spain, allowing us to appreciate the intricacy and craftsmanship of Polynesian art and the deep connection the Hawaiian people had to their natural environment.
