      1. 28 - Hawaiian Featherwork exhibit

        The Hawaiian Featherwork exhibit features several feather capes, a feathered helmet, and lei pāpale. All featherwork is handmade by master featherworker Rick San Nicolas using traditional Hawaiian techniques he has practiced over nearly 25 years. This will include a cape designed by Rick San Nicolas for Princess Ka'iulani made of peacock feathers, a replica of a feather cape worn by Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, and a replica of a cloak worn by Pi'ilani, an ancient high chief of the Kingdom of Maui. In addition, the display will showcase ‘ahu kaua, or battle cloaks (worn over one shoulder and under the other), which are rarely seen in exhibit. All feathers used in the pieces were ethically sourced.
