<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michelle Beason, post: 594649, member: 10642&quot;]That is amazing information. Thank you so much. I&#039;ve always loved this piece and everyone enjoys looking at it when they come over. I just finally thought I&#039;d try to figure out if it really was from Fiji and how old it is. I was pretty positive that it was an original because I bought it from a very old woman on a primitive/remote island that didn&#039;t have electricity.</p><p><br /></p><p>So do you think it was made from the masi tree? I don&#039;t know what the cloth normally looks like...masi vs mulberry.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember getting back to Nadi before flying home and seeing obvious manufactured tapas in the stores. They were selling small ones in frames for $300-$500 each...and i felt so happy that my prize was authentic...and much nicer...and a bargain to boot. Although I did feel kind of bad having purchased it for $25 after I knew what they sold for in the stores. But I really didn&#039;t know anything about tapa until she offered to sell me this one[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
