Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Poomaikelani Cape, Memoirs Bishop Museum, Vol. VII, Plate IV.

This is another of the larger capes measuring in breadths 43 inches; in depth behind 19 inches, and in front 14 inches. It is difficult to say whether the yellow or red predominates, but with Plate IV the reader can perhaps decide. The double crescent of black with yellow lining in the center is a most striking decoration, while the black and yellow half-crescents above this fit in most admirably. The red is ʻiʻiwi and the yellow and black ʻōʻō feathers. The name Poomaikalani was that of a sister of Queen Kapiolani, well known to the author, but it is quite possible that she was named for some ancestor not recorded by Fornander.
