The Hawai’ian term for the crescent shape, hoaka, applies to a few concepts: the arc of a rainbow, the raised crest of a helmet, and, significantly, brightness and radiance. ☀️🌈⚡ Its reference to glittering daylight or a flash of lightning evokes the very sources of divine power. Wearing a boldly designed, crescent shaped feather cape in the ritually significant colors of red and yellow was a strategic way for a chief to reinforce his embodiment as a divine being. See these feather capes in "Atea: Nature and Divinity in Polynesia," on view through October 27.

LOVE AHU ULA !! not probably viewed as the best form of protection in modern warfare lol, but i think they are great and their function as a both a status symbol to designate elite status and a form of spiritual protection is really cool. gotta thank ap art history for that one

‘Auwe! No ‘okina in the word “Hawaiian,” as that is an English word. Also, if you’re going to use ‘okina, you must use the kahakō, or no diacritical markings at all (perfectly acceptable to do so). @metmuseum

Which species of birds were killed? And how many birds died to produce one cape?

Do the @daughters_of_hawaii know about this ? Seemingly a royal cape.
