The rectangular board, with fine grooves on both sides, was used to prepare the bark bast for making tapa or siapo. Strips of the watered bast were scraped off on the board and then beaten. Text: Ulrich Menter

Provenance
The Linden Museum received this object in 1913 from the Royal Natural History Cabinet in Stuttgart. It was acquired by Augustin Krämer, director of the Linden Museum from 1911 to 1915, in Sāmoa. His first stay on the island lasted from 1893 to 1895 as a naval surgeon on the SMS Bussard stationed in Apia. A second journey took him again to Sāmoa between 1897 and 1899. The date of the acquisition of the object and the exact circumstances of the acquisition are not yet known. Text: Ulrich Menter
