Need Help. Tired of searching information about Tapa cloths.

    I have an old Tapa cloth/mat. It was bought at an estate auction in NZ and has sat folded in a cupboard for years which I am sure is not good for it as it has fold marks. It appears very old and rather frail. It's very thin and has holes, stains and worn places so I am assuming it has been used in the past. It measures 280cm long and 75cm wide and has had a fringe edge which a little of it remains. Does anyone know where it would have originated and how old it might be? I would like to know something about it before I sell it if possible. Thanks.

    @Taupou is very knowledgeable about tapa. She might not see this thread in the Introductions, though.
