Siapo as Samoan treasure

Siapo or Tapa are meticulously crafted using the bark of the Mulberry tree and transformed into textiles. These textiles are adorned in intricate motifs and patterns making captivating works of bark cloth art. This collection is a tribute to the creativity and diversity of Oceania. Its culture, stories and beliefs are woven into each yard of Samoan treasure.

The Übersee-Museum Bremen invites you to explore and enjoy the amazing patterns of the Siapo collection.
